What is causing this squeaking noise? Something to do with my clutch.

Question What is causing this squeaking noise? Something to do with my clutch.

Usually before the engine has had time to warm up a lot, and even when it shows that it's at it's hottest, there's a squeaking noise that comes from my engine/clutch. When I barely press the clutch in, the squeak goes away. I'm not like pressing it so that it disconnects the engine at all, just pressing the pedal to where it has no slack. Do I just have to make it so the pedal has no slack permanently? And how would I do that? And would it grind the gears at all? Here's a video of the sound and me pressing on the clutch:
Here.

maybe its just my computer, but i couldn't hear the squeaking sound. the sound you are describing is a classic case of a wearing throughout bearing. mine has been squeaking for the last 3 years lol. annoying as hell though

Yeah same here haha. Is it possible to fix it by replacing it? And is that easy?
