I hear this noise when I step on the clutch... sounds like some old door opening..
is this a sign of needing a new clutch?

 

...when u step ON the pedal or letting the pedal out(disengaging or engaging??)? where exactly do u here the noise from?

 

there is noise for pressing and releasing... like a old door opening if you know what I mean.. almost like a low "sweaking" sound..

 

hmm... it sounds like it's got nothing to do with clutch or tranny... when clutch is worn out, in my case, the whole car vibrated bad when letting out the pedal and quite a bit of play(from the pedal all the way down to engaging...) in some cases, clutch slipping...

try to lubricate all the joints and all the moving parts where the clutch pedal is... and see what happens...
--my clutch pedal used to make that kind of similar noise a while ago... i just lubricated... and it worked...

when was the last time u replaced ur clutch? how many miles did u put on since new?

I got it from the swap, so I had no idea when was the clutch replaced...

 

Put some grease on the little ball joints in the rubber boot where the clutch slave cylinder goes into; it worked for me.

 

possible bad throwout bearing.. simply replace when u get a new clutch.. could also be what the guy said above..just get a new clutch =P
