Hello,hope someone will tell me its not a big problem.last while now a loud screeching noise when changing gear.no problem with getting gears and van drives perfect but this noise might be clutch on the way out?Met a mechanic who without hearing it says these cluthes sometimes get dust on them and try and blow it out with air hose.healso said wd40 could be squirted through the small opening.Have not tried anything yet.Hope some of you might advise.......thanks from Joe.Sorry just see how bad my typing is.

I'm not a mechanic.

It could be clutch release bearing, does it screech at all when you are driving or only when depressing clutch?

Easy way to test if clutch is worn, put front wheels against a kerb and drive forward, see if it slips. (high engine revs, going nowhere)

Not a Ducato but sounds similar...
