If you've got the stock shifter (near useless item in my mind), you might consider changing to a Steeda tri-ax or similar. Faster, more secure shifts, no missed gears, and probably no squeaks (well, won't promise that - have no idea why you got mice in your shifter).

If you just want to hunt down the noise, removing the stock shifter is not too hard (its what you have to do to install the new shifter, of course). There are 2 rubber boots under there, and if the inner one starts to wear, it might get pinched by the base of the shifter and make noise (and even worse shifts if it gets caught).

If your transmission is low on oil, it might make a noise like that - right before it self-destructs.

Better check it out.

Default Cable or bearing

Could be your cable, the yoke where it links up to the arm, or the throw-out bearing itself (I've heard that these are weak links in our cars in general - mine rattles sometimes, and I'll be replacing it again soon - there's a heavy-duty version).

If you've already replaced your cable, quadrant and installed an adjuster (the Steeda kit works well), I'd check out the yoke/arm/bearing idea.
