I have a simple question. There isn't supposed to be any squeaking noise when you push down the clutch pedal is there? (doubt it) I wonder what could be causing it.

Does the noise come from near the clutch pedal or near the slave cylinder?

It's coming from outside of the car definitely. When I'm sitting in the driver's seat it sounds like it's coming from underneath the car.

Clutch fluid. Mine tends to eat some after a while. If its low you might have gotten air in the lines

I have no clue how to bleed the clutch. I'll go check the fluid level. Also, it uses the same stuff as my brake master cylinder - DOT 3, right?

Try greasing the pocket in the clutch fork that the slave cylinder pushrod presses against.

You know what, I just went outside to check the fluid level and I decided to check to hear where the noise was coming from and it didn't make any noise! I've had this consistent problem since I got the car and every day I drove it I heard it whenever I pushed the clutch down and I would think in my head "Okay, when I get home I'm gonna post about this on Honda-Tech and get this fixed." Odd that it isn't doing it now.

BTW the fluid level was fine.

fluid level is fine, but its black as poo. i'd flush it anyways. grease the shift fork where it goes to the slave cylinder. worst case scenario is that its squeaking form where the shift fort pivets inside the bellhousing.

ps. mine squeaks and i dont care i can't hear it over the intake

Try doing this(it's under you dash where you clutch pedal is) and if that doesn't fix your squeak then I would bleed your clutch lines and try to get as much of that super dirty fluid out of the system. Use DOT-3 Brake Fluid.

What kind of greese/lubricant? Any special stuff or anything to stay away from? WD-40 good?

if you are going to grease that i would push the clutch in and apply a thin layer of wheel bearing grease. its thick and will stay in place for a while.

could be a throw out bearing
