Have you checked your belt and tensioner?

well, originally i thought it was comming from the motor but now i think it is coming from the trans/ clutch because it only squeels occasionally and always when im on the clutch. even the slightest pressure on the clutch makes it squeel and when i let off it goes away. but it does not do it every single time it engage the clutch.

any help is greatly appreciated as i just bought the car yesterday and it figures.... it doesn't squeel untill i get it home.

Yeah, if it starts to squeal when you take the toe play out of the clutch pedal, then it is your TOB. Easy enough to replace but the trans does have to come out.

well it is most definitely coming when i apply pressure to the clutch.... how do i go about adjusting the toe? and also while i was at it i noticed that my belt is pretty cracked anyways so where would be the best place for me to get a gatorback? or whatever would be best


thanks

I think autozone supply gatorback belts, if you have them by you.

My car is 2001 Gt and it is having the same symptoms as yours. It makes a noise when I depress the clutch. As soon as I let off it goes away. Mine seems to go away, around the time the temp is up to operating range.

You can adjust the clutch by ordering a Quadrant and firewall adjuster, but toeplay is normal and should be there. So adjusting the clutch will not make your noise go away. You need a new TOB. Here are some clutch kits on Summit.
