plastic throw-out bering???

I put a new clutch in my 91 camaro last summer. And the throw out bearing that came with it was made out of meteal AND platic. The plastic part was the back section that the fork attaches to. And the metal section was the front the presses against the plates. Well I thought that looked cheap so I went to the GM dealer and bought and OEM all metal one. I thought I was the master for getting great part. Well I put it and and everything went fine until the ride home. I started to hear a squeeking noise from the clutch. If I gently put my foor and the pedal (not eeven pressing, just resting my foot) the vibrating stops and squeeking stops). I fiqured it was the metal of the throw out bearing rubbing on the fork. So I sprayed some WD-40 on the back of the bearing, that worked for about 5 min than more squeeking. I looked the problem up in the book (never mind wich book) and it said I was sappose the put grease on the bearing so it doesnt squuek angainst the fork. Allright, no we are getting somewhere. So I did that still no luck.

So here is my question, Should I use the plastic/metal bearing so I dont get the aqueeks (just a hopefull guees), Or is that type of bering to cheep.
