Default Clutch squealing...any ideas?!

So when the clutch pedal is decompressed there there is a high pitch squealing coming from the clutch. When I compress the clutch pedal it stops. Any idea what this could be? I want to get it fixed ASAP!

If the noise is made when the pedal is up, then there is likely a bad main bearing in the transmission. It's usually the input shaft bearing.

No, throwout bearing makes noise when you depress the clutch pedal.

So is it more likely throw-out bearing or input shaft bearing? I'm a noob when it come to this.

It's either the pilot bearing or one or more of the 5bearings in the transmission has gone bad.

so probably a rebuild would be the easiest thing?

Yes, unless you can find a known good used transmission (they're getting to a point now where it's hard to find one that doesn't need bearings)
