squeaky noise when letting clutch out??
ok, I jump in my car and go to take off in 1st and as I let the clutch off and the gas on there is a high pitch sqeaky noise like metal on metal, now this only happens when I disengage the clutch, and after about 10-15mins of driving it goes away and its fine.

and ideas to help me out here???

Well buy WD-40 and shoot the spring under where the clutch pedal is... See picture. Just shoot it around it.

my 4runner is doing the same thing and they told me it was the throwout bearing. it sounds like a belt or something when you slip the clutch.
