ok when i first get in my car when its cold and push the clutch pedal down theres this noise coming from the clutch it self: sort of like a grinding / squeaking. everytime i push the pedal down for about the first 5 - 10 minutes of driving it makes that noise - stops after the clutch gets warm. is it the release bearing? is this something i should fix right away or at all?

 

im pretty sure its the clutch spring the the pedal (if there is one)

 

no the noise is not coming from the pedal.. its inside the engine bay right where the whole clutch assembly is.

 

could be a bad throw out bearing, or a bad spring in the clutch itself

 

what we did with my bros is; slide over the dust cover and spray wd-40 and it stopped.
