Default squeeking and clicking....cables or just need lube?

2 problems:

problem #1 - i hear a high pitch squeel when i let off the brake. not when i press on it. i dunno what it is. maybe its just sitting right there in front of me. but when i brake, everything is perfectly fine (except for the facts my rotors are a tiny tiny bit warped and my pedal shakes just a minute amount). but when i let off the brake, *squeel*. not a loud one, but its noticeable. when i let off the brake slowly or very slowly, it doesnt happen. only when im normally braking/driving (ie - at a stop light with the brakes on and the light goes green, gotta let off the brake and gas right away)

problem #2 - my clutch pedal clicks...loud. it happens when i engage AND disengage. when i push down the clutch, it doesnt start happening until its 1/2 way down. then it starts clicking and its pretty loud. i can feel it in the pedal too. it clicks like 5-8 times. it also makes the noise when i let off the clutch but not as many times.

input/solutions to these problems? i was thinking i just need to lube something up for problem #1 but i dont know what. and for #2, i thought it might be some cable or what not. but i have no clue where to start

The squeaking brakes are the low pad indicators starting to rub. It sounds like its time for a brake job judging by the warped rotors and noise. I don't know about the clutch

but it only makes the noise when i LET OFF the brakes. not PRESS. dont mean to bold the words to make u sound wrong, but how would letting off the brake indicate worn pads?

and my rotors aren't that warped like i said. just a tiny tiny minute amount. enough to allow me to feel the smallest vibration when i brake suddenly or from fast speeds. the brakes still bite just as hard as they did years ago.

trust me check your brake pads. the first sign of low brake pads is the squealer will start to rub a little before with out the brake being pushed. then as they wear more the squealer rubs all the time. CHECK YOUR BRAKES if I am wrong all that it took was a little time.

yeah he's right. Same thing happened to me. It used to really bug me on the freeway, so I'd step on the brake to make it go away. Then after like 2 seconds, it'd come back. Trust us, time to change your brakes.
