When I start my car I get the loudest most horrible sounding squealing noise for about 5 seconds then it goes away.. then after driving for a min it comes back but not as loud.. and the squealing goes away when i press in the clutch but as soon as i let off its back.

ok..so yea i pulled the tranny and replace the TOB and threw in a new rear main seal while was at it..got everything put back together and starter her and the damn squeal was still there!! not as bad but WTF.. it stops as soon as i left off the clutch..only during startup.. when im driving everything is normal...any other ideas? i no its not the belt
 
Did you inspect the sleeve the bearing rides on for wear? It is a very common problem for them to wear and is usually the cause for most throw out bearings to take a dump.
