Squeaking coming from clutch?
After a day of off-roading (with a bit of unavoidable mud/water) I noticed my clutch kind of ticks/squeaks when engaged. As soon as I put any bit of pressure on the clutch peddle it goes away. I can only really hear it though when stopped I'm traffic or by a barrier. Any ideas?
Kinda sounds like your throwout bearing. Mine doesn't squeak, but it does tick. It's been doing it since I noticed it about 25k or 30k miles.
Like you, I can hear it when I'm idling next to a wall. And I can hear it on a quiet night. I'm about 65k miles now and it still sounds the same. They're cheap throwout bearings. Google something like JK Throwout Bearing and you'll be able to read a lot about them and what guys are doing.
But then again, I may be totally wrong and your sound is coming from somewhere else.

If you change it, I've read that people say to use National throwout bearings.
I've been looking real hard at Centerforce. I want a better clutch and a heavier flywheel, but I haven't seen what throwout bearing they're using. Still researching at this time.
