Clutch problems, started after squeak fix!
Alright, so I finally convinced my local dealership that the squeak coming from the clutch when engaging was indeed from the clutch disk and not some transmission mount. Yesterday they replaced the disc and, of course, the squeal went away!! But that's when the high pitched squeak began! lol. Now, when driving or parked, with the engine running and the clutch pedal out, there is a slight "squeak squeak" noise. It goes away with the slightest touch to the pedal though, even 1/4" pushed in. I climbed underneath in the hopes of finding some loose linkage or something, but no dice.
Anyone have any idea what it might be?? My dealership mechanic is close to worthless and I dont want them messing with my Jeep again...
Thanks in advance!

I had that, started at about 300 miles on odo, went to dealer, was given run around after I showed them the throw out bearing memo, they said they need to call to get prior approval to do the work. Brand new vehicle and they needed to get approval???? Well , thankfully it went away by itself after about 400 miles, I think it is the clutch fork which holds the bearing was not adjusted right and eventually the bearing which was hitting the clutch disc so slightly causes the squeak. It probably wore a little nitch in the disc and stopped.
