So it just started yesterday....when the clutch pedal is pressed in I can hear an almost grinding or rubbing sound, and when at a dead stop I take off in first, when the clutch engages it sounds exactly like a squeaky belt....

Supposedly the clutch is only about 7 months old...any ideas?

Im attaching a couple pictures, maybe they can help...

Likely the throwout bearing. You may try some lithium grease but when you get the grind it is likely on it's last leg. I just had mine replaced recently and the clutch was only about 8-9 months old. Those bearings that come with those clutches are garbage. Best to order one from Ford...make sure it is a Ford Racing bearing

Thanks for the input...but I just found out the CEL bulb was out, so the computer was throwing 12 codes...buncha crap just popped up, and to top it off, I was fired today...so the car is on hold for a lil bit, but I will be sure to update as soon as im able to..
