Squeek noises from the clutch when it engages or disengages

It happened on sat now it's getting worst. I can also hear Squeek noises when I'm trying to shift it's really irritating does anyone know the problem. I'm not talking about the whirring noises either.

What kind of clutch disk do you have? Does the noise happen in neutral when pushing and releasing the clutch pedal or does it happen as the clutch begins to grab and pull the car forward?

I think I have the same squeak as you, but I only get it when the weather is cold outside.

I have an oem duralast clutch which was replaced about 6 months ago it happens when I try to get it into gear when the cars stopped or while driving. Also when I release the clutch to engage. Mine makes the noise all day not that I drive alot. It just does not go away.

Mine makes the noise all day not that I drive alot. It just does not go away. But say Im rolling when I try to put it in second it will make the Squeeks as soon as I try to put it in gear once it's in it goes away. If I play around and engage the clutch and disengage the clutch at the release point it will make the sound always. Maybe I'll just take it to the shop but I'd like to know the problem just for an estimate.

Could just be that the pivot ball is dry...Was it greased when the new clutch was installed?

Maybe a squeal noise and not a squeak noise?? Squeak .......I'd say clutch pedal linkage needs a spray of lubrication or the return spring there is a squeaker. Squeal ........Bumpstarts answer.

I also have a squeak. 99% Sure it's from within the cabin, so it's probably a spring or one of the electric plungers. I'm thinking I have the same issue as you.
