Default Clutch making a squeaking noise?

Hey all, my S.P.E.C is making a squeak almost like an old rocking chair if u depress the pedal slowly or let it back out slow.
It does it when engaging fast to just doesn't sound so rocking chair like lol.

Mars302 told me it was my throwout bearing.
I do ride around with my foot on the clutch pedal sometimes, but I didn't think I could affect anything with that little amount of pressure on it, its almost like there is no pressure on it at all when my foot is there.
But he thinks that's what it is, so I guess thats a relativley good idea seing how he asked me that before I told him I did.


Any other suggestions to help me?
And if it is that, how long before something gets fucked up?My clutch and pilot bearing are a couple month's old, dont know bout the throwout bearing though....

It's not a hydraulic clutch, so no master cylinder.

It's most likely the pressure plate. A few of us have experienced similar sounds, including myself. I didn't hear it once I went to LT's and a full 3 inch exhaust on my old car though.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Squeeking? Sounds like a cable issue. Did you replace the quadrant and cable at the same time?

I don't know what kind of clutch i have in mine, the guy i bought it from said it had a performance clutch, but i don't know what kind. Ya, who needs a hydraulic clutch? Hopefully if things work out ill be driving a mach 1 in the next couple days
