Default Why does my clutch sound like a loose belt???

I just bought my 4 dr manual JK this past January, it has just over 4000 miles on it and the clutch has begun squeaking when pressure is released from the pedal. It doesnt matter if im moving or sitting still, the clutch makes this terrible sound. I took it to the dealer and they pretended not to hear the sound, but everyone else has noticed it. Any pressure applied to the clutch pedal, whether light foot resting or fully depressed, stops the sound immediately. Any one have ideas?

yep! take it to the dealer and tell then there is a TSB on it and fix it! i had mine done at 1400 under warranty and again at 2400 and it wasn t covered because there was mud in the bellhousing (look at my avatar). so if you have been doing wheelin, deep mud, i suggest you take the inspection cover off and stick a garden hose in there!
