Adjust the cable by putting the side of your left foot on the side of the clutch pedal and pressing it down a little and pulling it as far up as it will go. Do this several times when the squeel happend and it will go away. You may need a new clutch in the next 10-15000 miles.

What it is is the quadrant is rubblin underneath when the cable gets loose. It happened in my GT a few times also.

Throw-out bearing. I have little doubt of that. As it gets worse you'll find it hard to fully disengage the clutch.

if it's the same thing i'm thinking of, yes. Sometimes when i slam the clutch real quick it makes a squelling type sound, no all the time tho.
