Angry Squeeeking clutch??

When I press the clutch pedal I can here some sort of Squeeeeeking from the rear.

Does anyone else get that? Would it be my clutch cable? I'm not familiar with the transmission/clutch system.

Thanks in advance

My car has been doing somthing similer, not all the time, and not too noticable, but its still there...i belive it to be the clutch engaging and disengaging, but i dont know how to fix it. 944's have Hydraulic clutches so it cant be a cable.....sorry i cant help more, i am in the same boat!

Is the squeak coming from under the dash or under the radio? If it's under the dash it could be the helper spring on the pedal or the bushing on the pedal's pivot point.
The clutch itself is just about under the radio. The squeak could be the release fork or throwout bearing.
As Puch1313 said, the pedal is connected to the clutch through a hydraulic system consisting of a master cylinder, a pressure line, and a slave cylinder. No cables.
I can't think of anything else that would squeak when the clutch is depressed. I hope this helps you somehow.

My clutch was squeaking till I had it replaced. The disc was cracked and rubbing on the flywheel making the noise. Hopefully that isn't your problem.

The clutch is in the front(well, pretty much) but I've heard the torque tube is very good at transferring any noise the clutch makes to the rear of the car.

My initial thought was Throwout bearing...but could be wrong...

Does it vary with RPM? Does it go away if you leave the clutch in for a bit? (say, 15 seconds)?

actually, when you are stationary and you depress the clutch you here the squeek, but when driving you can continuously hear it.

My clutch was done 1.5 years ago and it had about 25,000 kilometers on it (~12000 miles) so I think that it maybe is the Throw out bearing or something... I'll look in to it... thanks a bunch guys for the pointers.

I'll let you know what's causing it... =)
