Default Squeaking When Clutch Disengaged

I just bought this car (92 LX Hatch) a couple days ago, and i just started noticing a squeaking sound whenever the clutch is disengaged. But, whenever i press the clutch pedal just a little bit, maybe 1/2-3/4 of an inch, the squeaking goes away. So, just seeing if anyone could have any ideas about what this might be?
Thanks
Nicholas

there is no way to grease the throwout bearing!! it is a sealed bearing!! now if you mean greasing the input shaft retainer so throwout bearing can slide then okay but that will have no bearing in curing the sqeaking since TB is a sealed unit

Ok, well when i bought the car, the guy said the clutch was replaced somewhat recently, and it feels very strong, so id say that makes sense. Its so annoying!

The clutch in my vert was recently replaced and the release bearing has squeaked ever since.The clutch disc,pressure plate and release bearing are all new centerforce parts! It is very annoying.

If it was done recently, and the guy still had the receipts, would wherever he had it done at have to fix it? I think it would be worth a shot.
