Clutch whining
Soo when I start my car up it makes a wierd squeaky noise. When i very slightly apply pressure to the pedal the squeaking stops. Any idea on how I can fix this or what the problem is?? Thanks

RE: Clutch whining
Just ignore those other two. I speak "Shifty" anyway.
translation: The throw-out bearing is probably bad on your clutch. you need to pull the transmission and replace the bearing, and probably the clutch too while you're in there.

RE: Clutch whining
99.9% chance it is the Throw out bearing. Like he said above, consider a whole new clutch. One of the ways that your TOB can go out prematurely, is by letting your left foot rest on the clutch pedal. Often times people will claim up and down that they don't do it, but subconsciencly they do. It's a bad habbit, and im not talking about leaving it on the pedal enough to disengage the clutch, just barely touching it can cause it over time.
