Squeaky/noisy clutch pedal


Thought this was just the interior making noises until I turned the stereo off one day and listened. Now that I know its there its driving me up a the wall. Appointment Friday to get it looked at. All signs point to throwout bearing...

Anyone else have TO bearing issues at 15,000 miles?

I had a very similar thing - started at about 9K miles. The noise was loudest when starting cold and it would go away by the time the car warmed up. I also found that depressing the clutch pedal about an inch stopped the squeaking.

I thought TO bearing, but it turned out to be the bushings in the clutch centering spring. The dealer replaced the assembly (spring and two bushings) and it's like new again. Does your clutch pedal also have kind of a rough feel at the top of the travel? I found that really annoying - more so than the squeaking - and replacing the centering spring resolved that as well.
