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.

you know mine did the same thing... and it did it whether or not the car was on or off... does it matter for you?

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.
