    There is a slight "squeel" coming from the F50 clutch when it 1st takes up the drive/power. It only happens in 1st gear when you are starting to pull away. Could this is a worn/degraded thruster bearing or an indication that one of the clutch plates is on the way out? There is no slippage in the clutch.

    Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same problem, turned out to be a noisy thrust bearing in the end. Water can actually get into the bell housing when washing the engine bay if you are not careful. Put the car away "wet" and it can cause problems.

    When I fitted the full Tubi system I replaced the thrust bearing and the clutch plates "while we are there" though they had life left in them. I posted pictures some time back on the whole service.
