I have this really irritating squeaking under the hood of my car, it happens consistant. Everytime I let go of the clutch it will squeak consistantly non stop, everytime I put my foot down on the clutch it will stop squeaking. Does anyone know what it is? Please tell me what to do with it cuz I want the squeaking to stop it's irritating.

It's your throw-out-bearing.

yup, most likely. the ghetto fix for this is to "leave the clutch in", but shift to nuetral at the same time, at stops
(course you could pull everything apart and replace your pilot bearing, t/o bearing, clutch, etc. at the same time but that's a PITA )

how much is this going to cost me? Hopefully not to much cuz if so I can get it done in a couple of weeks, and is it going to be a big problem?

don't how much its goin to cost but u might as will change ur clutch at the same time and resurface ur flywheel too. Take it easy and it might last till u have the money. GOOD LUCK

yep, throw-out bearing.... i still dont have a clue on why it does that after replacing your stock clutch.

coo thanks, what kind of good aftermarket flywheels are there? Also I'm planning to get a King Cobra Clutch maybe next week anyways. Thanks.

you don't replace your flywheel you have it machined for around $60 aftermarket ones are a couple of hundred bucks and are only lighter.
