Default Really Loud Screeching?

Pulled out of the driveway on this rainy day everythings good. Turn off the road and my cluth is really rough feeling when I press it in. When I start to press it in its like its stuck then it goes in fine. So after that I hear this minor screeching, think nothing of it its rainy maybe a belt got wet, but pull up to a stop light and push the clutch in and it sounded like I killed a baby pig. Its so loud when I press the clutch in and I checked under the car after coming back and its like something is slushing around under the car. Cant really see where though. Any ideas on what it could be? Dont know if my camera will record it the exhaust makes it freak out but Ill try.

Most likely the problem is the throw out bearing making the noise. The stiffness when you start to press in the clutch is probably a worn bearing retainer that the t/o bearing rides on. It's made of aluminum and does wear. Here's the stock one out of my car. See at the end it looks like it's expanded out, that's probably what's going on w/ yours

Yeah, that def sounds like the t/o bearing. If you're gonna replace it, may as well do the clutch assemand the bearing retainer also. Price will depend on type of clutch you buy. Expect about 3-4 hours labor.
