Screeching noise 1989 SR5

I have a Toyota SR5 long bed, 6 cylinder, 2-wheel drive, 1989, manual transmission and 145,000 miles. Recently, I noticed a screeching noise coming from the rear. This specifically happens when accelerating or decelerating. If I disengage the engine by pressing on the clutch pedal, then the noise vanishes, thus indicating that the rear wheels and/or the rear breaks are not the source of the problem. I checked the oil level in the differential and it is OK. Any advice where to look? Thanks. Gene

Sounds like a u-joint or possibly the throw-out bearing and it's transmitting sound to rear of truck. I'd start by checking both u-joints, especially the rear. HTH, davidj92
