I have a 98 GT Convert with 64K and 5spd and it has recently started to make a sqeaking chirping type of noise when im going at slow speeds..it may be happening all the time but I cant hear it when going faster. It seems to be coming from the drivers possibly from the rear ? This car has not been raced or driven hard at first I thought it was maybe the exhaust but it seems to be tight ? Anyone have a similar noise ?

Thx

Could it be wheel bearings?

It's the throw out bearing...when you hear it, put your foot under the clutch pedal and lift up...if it stops...throw out bearing, mine does it too.

I will go check the throw out bearing..I also thought of wheel bearing but I was thinking they would be a more constant chirping sound ..but the sound does appear to be getting louder. I guess I will take into my Mechanic on Monday to get the car serviced and to see if he can pinpoint the cause.
Im hoping its something simple and cheap..I guess we will see.

Thanks for the help !
