Default Clutch or Throw Out Bearing?

Ok So it started off as a light rattle like change in your pocket when you walk, and it would start once i got going fast. around 4,000 rpm's. then slowly over time moved to ever gear but 1st and 2nd. 3rd, 4th & 5th all eventually had the rattle at high rpm's.
Now its a loud high pitched squeel when i first crank the car up. It will do it when im in neutral, sitting still and when i raise my rpm's it will stop. about 3000 rpms in neutral it will stop.
Now today i cranked her up and had little pedal. took off down the road with the squeel. got to the stop sign and my pedal was limp. no pedal at all.
I think i may be the clutch and flywheel but others say its my throw out bearing. although my fluid is full i have no pedal.
what you guys think?

Default

fluid level wont change the pedal feel.

im thinking it was a cable issue that turned into a clutch issue. does it have long tubes ???

do you have an adjustable aftermarket or stock cable and quadrant ? have you adjusted whatever one you have ?

while its making the noise... have you rested your foot on the clutch pedal to see if the sound changes ?
