So after washing my american car on an american holiday my clutch started to make a squeaking noise. The clutch only make the squeaky noise when THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY. Ive done some research and most people said the same thing " its the TOB bearing" This noise only happens when im at a dead stop in neutral, it does not make the squeak in between shifts only at a stop and when the pedal is all the way down, I can also sometimes feel a very slight vibration in my shift handle that comes when the noise from the clutch is down . Whats the issue here, is my pedal not lubricated enough or wtf is it?
thanks

 

It's not the TOB. If it were, you would hear a chirping when the clutch is engaged.

What does the squeak sound like?

 

Are you on the original clutch and throw out bearing?

When my throwout bearing began acting up, (and by
acting up I mean literally
disintegrating), the pedal started getting spongey during any acceleration above normal driving. It began chirping, and gradually I decided to speed up the process so I could fix it sooner rather than later by driving the shlt out of my car. Replaced the TB and its been great ever since.

Best of luck figuring it out. The TOB is just bound to happen sooner or later though.

 

My guess is the pilot bearing (could have gotten wet some how), You said noise happens when clutch is push in?
I Agree with Moonshine ..If it was the TOB the noise would go away with pedal pushed in.

Nameless , does it make the noise if the clutch was push in and in gear instead of N?
Could be input shaft on tranny if so.

Can you put up a video? May help better if we could hear the noise instead of guessing.
Purp could be correct as well.could be a TOB but hearing noise can help clear the issue up better.

it only happens when in neutral, Purp- not sure on what clutch whether its stock or not, my car came with a STS not sure o which brand its not an MGW due to no orange handle. I was leaning more towards the pilot bearing. The car drives just fine its just annoying to hear only happens in neutral. It could have gotten wet cuz this happened right after i took my car to wash it at the self serve washes with the power washer guns hmmm..... could it just be squeaking cuz it got wet??

Might just be something i will have to deal with and hear. Its a 9 year old car with 141000 miles
