Default Diagnose my drivetrain problem!

Ok,

The car has been doing this for awhile now, and I'm damn sure it's not normal.

On occasion, but occasion I mean being more common over time, my car makes a squeak when I engage the clutch. It's definitly not the pedal, and it's not me spinning the tires. It's gotten louder, AND more common as time goes on.

Discuss.

Sounds like a throwout bearing going out.

Is it only happening right as you start to accelerate in 1st? If so it's your headers. Same thing happened to me until I tightened them down really well. It still does it occasionally.

I totally agree! With a manual trans, usually only when releasing the clutch, you get squeal (similar to a belt slipping), that is an indication of a throw out bearing going south. Headers will not do anything when depressing or releasing the clutch.
