Transmission /clutch question

[Georgia306]

Ok so here is the problem. When I press in the clutch it is hard to push, and every time I shift gears it makes a loud squealing noise but only when I am moving. If I am sitting still and push in the clutch it makes a light rubbing noise as if the clutch isn’t all the way disengaged. This happens in gear or out of gear. I’m not sure how old the clutch is. Any help is appreciated .

Thanks Chris

Possible bad throwout bearing.

The next step requires a jack and some good jackstands.
Do not get under the car without it being supported on good jackstands!!!

You need to crawl under the car and inspect the clutch cable for binding and damage. It should be tight with no slack. Cable operated systems need to keep the cable tight so it doesn't come unhooked from the clutch quadrant or the clutch release lever (AKA fork).

If you have an adjustable clutch cable, here is something else to check. Adjustable cables were an aftermarket item used with some clutch quadrant upgrade kits. The binding common to adjustable cables is often due to misplacement of the adjusting nuts on the fork end of the cable. This will also cause the cable to wear and fray. Both nuts should be on the back side of the fork so that the domed nut faces the fork and the other nut serves as jam or locknut to the domed nut.
