just trying to get a good understanding of what kind of squeek and when and where at.
really annoying when I swear I know a noise is coming from rear passenger side, but turned out I found the problem on the drivers side.
with under 50k miles, I wouldn't think of the clutch or the throw out bearing, unless you tend to reat your foot on the clutch pedal, which will wear out the bearing. Alot of stop and go traffic and traffic jams is usually harder on the clutch, and your knee.
most of the time when I am just taking it out of gear, I don't use the clutch, just when lower rpm and the drivetrain is not in stress it slides right out, and to a stop when about at 2 - 3 mph before stop 1st gears slides right in with the clutch depressed and completly goes in 1st easy so no pop out when cold.
just different driving habits from several different transmissions, like a eaton 10 speed, when shifting you do "not" use the clutch at all.
trying to help, just trying to figure out what kind of squeak and when etc etc etc.
