My bike used to have harsh clutch engagement similar to what you describe. I didn't have the squeeling noise however but then again my hearing isn't the best. I changed over to Redline oil in all 3 boxes and couldn't be happier. The transmissions shifts much better and the clutch engagement has improved greatly.
