Squeaking sound coming from middle of car

Car is sitting at idle and I open my driver side door. I can hear a squeaking sound coming from the middle of the car, right below where I'm sitting.

I need to flush out my tranny fluid and diff... could this be the problem?? Will this smooth things out??

Mike

just a guess but maybe something to do with the throw out bearing or pilot bearing. What happens if you push the clutch in? Does it go away?

Have you checked to make sure your cat heat shield is tight?

well since you mentioned it, when my car sits at idle and i push my clutch in all the way, there is a slight squeak sound when I get towards the end of it....

so i there is a small squeak coming from the deep end of the clutch and a rolling/squeaking sound coming from the middle of the car...
