I have tried running the reel at a decent speed using an electric drill, to see if the 'screaming' noise was coming from the reel side of the equation, but it does not make the noise in that scenario.
I feel there are at least two possibilities here:
[1] If the noise occurs only upon engagement of the primary clutch,
then the issue will be post-clutch.
Changes in reel set - alone - will produce significant changes in sound.
[2] If the sound only occurs with dis-engagement drive, then the issue will
be within the primary clutch.
If the thrust pad has sufficient free play, then the most likely cause will
be a dry or failing thrust bearing located within the inner clutch body.
Please advise when the noise occurs: disengaged or engaged.
I feel Mod BB needs this info to advise further.
Hope this helps.-------------------------------
