Squeeling clutch problem
I hate asking questions on this board cuz it only proves how stupid I am with cars, but you never learn unless you ask 
Here's the deal: I had the master and slave cylinder replaced by a shop a month or so ago and have noticed a squeeling noise that only goes away when the clutch is engaged. It seems to be getting worse and I'd like to take care of it myself cuz I'm broke as ****. Didn't seem to have this problem before, but could it have been caused by faulty install of the master cyclinder and slave cylinder? I called the shop and told them about it and they said that the parts they replaced have no moving parts and that it sounds like a throw out bering. I don't know if there's truth behind that or if they're full of **** or not. They said they'd need to look at it to determine the problem though. If any of you can provide me with some idea as to what this problem might be, how to fix it, and what it might cost I'd appreciate it. Thanks

yeah that's what I figured. Only took me one night at the track to **** those up
And throwout bearing is the same as the release bearing right? eh looks that way since they show the price listing as CLUTCH T/O BEARING $43.04 on mazda trix.
Is this an easy part to replace?

there are 2 bearings and the release/throwout bearing is the one that's bad on your car.
it is easy to replace if you have the transmission out
it is like replacing a clutch, so expect to pay a lot for labor

on a bright side, you can drive your car with no ill effects. you just have to put up with the noise. it might sound horrible now, but you'll get used to the noise after a few days 
so unless you are going to replace the clutch, leave it alone.
