Need help with clutch

[Black02atDPU]

I have a squeaking noise coming from my clutch at idle. The funny thing is, if I just barely rest my foot (not even really putting any pressure on it) on the clutch pedal it stops. Is this the throwout bearing failing? Is it anything to be concerned about or should I just live with it till the clutch dies?

Sounds like the throw out bearing. If it were me I would live with it, depending on how many miles are on the car.

It has 32,000 on it. Dealer says they will warranty it if they take it apart and there is no evidence of "excessive wear." Even though the clutch feels fine, something tells me they are going to try to stick me with the bill once it comes apart.

Your instincts are right. Once they tear it apart, they will probably try and stick you with it since you dont have much of a choise. After they take it apart, they doubt you will tell them not to fix it regardless what they tell you is wrong.
The tob in these cars seem to squeak no matter what. My stock one started squeaking at less than 16000 miles. I have a spec stage II now along with their tob. It squeaks like crazy, but there is nothing wrong with it. Oh well, you cant expect to mod your car and it still behave like a luxury car. There are going to be squeaks, rattles, and noises if you mod your car, it just comes with the territory. I accepted that fact a long time ago .

So True Lou!!!
But what was described is definately the signs of a TOB going...

Mine has been doing exactly what the original poster's clutch has for over 2 years. Squeals and when I just barely rest my foot on the clutch it stops. Squeals a little bit again during normal acceleration and then stops again and on and on and on. No performance decriment whatsoever for me, no slippage either

Dude same thing happened to me. Get it checked ASAP. I blew the tranny on friday. You dont want that to happen.
