Gleaner F clutch noise

OK. Try adjusting the arm's rod/yoke back to where it was originally and see if it helps? Your star ring is threaded so Service book calls it an adjusting nut & recommends moving it one notch at a time. Here's a copy of Gleaner K service book for the separator clutch parts, their terminology, & service recommendations. I know you have an F. But the K is nearly the same just sized smaller. 

Could be a number of things thats making noise??  Try inspecting the release sleeve's 3 connecting links & clevis pins for excessive wear. If one or several of it's connection link's clevis pin holes are badly egg shaped instead of round, then that could produce it's current noise? One or two egged holes could produce an uneven pressure against pressure plate?  The release sleeve's 3 connecting links are held by an encompassing spring(lever spring assembly). When operator engages separator lever in cab, the release sleeve moves inward & that spring helps snap in & hold all 3 connecting links to over-center pressure plate against "plate & facing" disc. 

Do you have an Owners manual? Parts Book? If not, I'd recommend you locate them from ebay or facebook. Theres a gleaner f owners manual on facebook's marketplace now (La Crescent MN). You could use agcopartsbook.com to view all parts listing for it?
