Ok, this started about a month ago and seems to come and go, but is happening more and more. When the car is warm and I push and hold the cluch in, it sounds like a loud squeaking belt. I do have the normal TOB chirping, but this is totally different and only happens when the cluch pedal is pushed down.

Made a recording from my phone here:

Car has 83K on it with stock cluch...time for a new one?

Ideas? Suggestions?

With the windows rolled up and radio off, if it makes a grinding/grumbling type sound then it's definitely your TOB.

it's the throw out bearing, BTW at your mileage I would also replace the clutch,the pivot ball and clutch fork.

I edited my original post to include a WAV file that has a recording of the sound.
