Quick squeak when taking off from a stop

[myfavecoupe]

Started hearing a squeak that lasts a quick second everytime I'm stopped and start moving. Seems to happen when I'm just putting the car in gear and the initial go after.

Sound does not reproduce in neutral if I rev the engine.

Sherlock Holmes was wondering where this squeak might be coming from.

It sounds like it's somewhere in the front of the car and underneath.

Both Holmes and Watson suspect the clutch or throw out bearing. However, they also acknowledge that they are more familiar with real horse power than with the internal combustion engine and its drivetrain.

Lol. Here's what's weird, it's only audible at night that I've noticed

You've got bats in your engine bay and braking is upsetting them.

YES! Out of my slump.

Aaaaaaaand /THREAD

I think he means the world is quieter at night so it's easier to hear the squeak. Makes sense.

So now I can hear the same noise at idle which goes away when I press the clutch in.

It sounds like a consistent bird chirp. It's not too loud but noticeable if you listen.

Would this be the pilot bearing? And should I be too concerned at this point?

You do understand that it is impossible to hear a sound over the net by reading words on a forum right? Why not get a friend or family member to help you out that can actually listen to this sound you want everyone to guess at? That or take it to a shop. We can't help you and it is why everyone is making jokes in the thread because at this point it is more helpful than guessing which doesn't do anything for anyone but waste time.

Maybe the slave cylinder shaft needs temperature grease in the place where it touches the clutch fork (i mean, it's a must, the service manual especify that also) .
If there's no more grease there, the slave shaft would make some kind of bird chirp caused by the engine vibration.

That could be re-greased in 15 minutes without taking more than 2 bolts apart

 

[myfavecoupe]

Will try.

Ok I greased it up, now the "chirp" sound which sounded like loose metal is gone and has more of a solid noise.

But it does still go away when I press the clutch in.
