Default squeak

dont know about that, i also have a slight squeak but mine is when i am not pressing in the clutch, it seems like if i just put my foot on the clutch just that little amount of preassure makes it go away. i have no idea what mine is either.

Thats the test really. If it makes the noise until you press on the clutch then its the TOB. The part to fix it is cheap, however the tranny has to be pulled to do it.

if you are off the clutch, and the noise appears when you let off the gas, bet it's the U joins in the Driveshaft. mine are squeaking.

I agree with spike you can bet ur money its the TOB. I just replaced my whole clutch my problem began same way as yours Wood. After a while it got louder and louder and then I said screw this POS am changing the whole clutch out TOB included.
