Gaby,
If your clutch is squealing just by depressing the clutch pedal sitting there
idling in the driveway then it sounds like your throw out bearing is going bad.
I drive mine like that for about 3 months and finally the throw outbearing
fractured and bound enought on the pressure plate 'teeth' and broke a few. The
clutch would then not work at all. It also toasted the carrier sleeve. I was
going to replace all of this stuff anyway due to the labor involved.
If your clutch is squealing when your releasing the pedal then you may have a
worn out friction disk and now the disk rivets are scraping on the flywheel.
This is not good and you should'nt keep driving it(like I did in the case of
the bad TOB). You'll probably have to resurface your flywheeel anyway if this
is the case but no reason to cause excessive wear.
I'm new on this stuff so there are probably better(more in depth) answers to be
had on this one.
