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 [Big Grin]
(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.

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.
