I have a 1993 GT tat has a chirping sound coming from the clutch area when the pedal isn't being pressed. If I rest my foot on the pedal it goes away. Also, when driving there is a vibration or rattle that is felt in the clutch pedal. If I pull up on the pedal it will go mostly away.

The clutch is original (50k miles), and the car has never been driven hard. No burnouts, drag racing, etc.

I thought it might be the throw out bearing, but why would it make noise when the clutch pedal is not depressed?

I'd get under it (using jack stands so you don't get squashed) and check the cover, It may be loose and the clutch fork for play, you may have a throw out bearing or a imput shaft bearing going bad. You likely will be yank'n that trans out to see whats going wrong

No pressure on the bearing to hold the loose, worn or dry parts together,
