Default Noisy clutch

I just purchased a 02 manual GT. It has welded sub-frame connectors, cat back exhaust, 70m throttle body(stock intake w. silencer removed, fram air hog filter), shorty shifter, & a adjustable clutch. The problem that I'm having is that the clutch is making a annoying cricket type of sound. The noise is made whether the car is in motion or standing still at idle. The only way I have found to stop the noise is by pushing in the clutch just a tiny bit and then the noise stops, but of coarse it can't be driven that way.
Sorry for the long story just wanted to give as much detail as possible![sm=icon_blah.gif]

I have the same issue in my 03 GT. So this pedal trick should work right? My clutch is stock from what I can tell, but I did buy the car used. But if the pedal trick doesn't do it...is the throw out bearing the problem??

I have the same problem.. Sounds like I will try the adjustment as well. Also, if I pull the pedal towards me it moves a long ways..Does that mean I need to adjust it?
