Irritating Noise In Clutch

Hey;

I have a very irritating noise in my clutch (2004 GT)
Its a chirp/squeak as if something is dry
I am an beginner, far from a pro, I don't think its a throw bearing, as its not loud/rough enough according to a mechanic to had a quick feel/listen...
Its there when I start the engine, and especially when driving 1-3,crusin down the road and when stopped at lights etc in neutral.
If I push in on the clutch JUST a bit, it gets louder for a second
Push it in more, it softens to almost disappears
About 3/4 its gone
When its fully in, no noise at all of course

Anyway, let me know what you think!
Thanks!

My 97 does that I was told that it was a throwout bearing.

Just because it isn't loud 'yet' doesn't mean it isn't the throw out bearing. Sounds like a thrown out bearing to me, and obviously, it isn't bad yet. Depending on how many miles your clutch has, it may be a good time to replace it since the tranny has to come down anyway.

My TOB has been replaced 3 times for that squeeking noise. Its never gotten worse, but I cant seem to get it to go away. I have put 60k miles on my mustang since I got it; every bit of that with a squeeking TOB.
