annoying squeak disapears when clutch disengaged

By ExCoupe94
- Mon Oct 19, 2009 1:01 am #151598 so ive been driving my civic for about a month now after an ls swap. i actually paired the b18b1 with a gsr tranny but anyways i couldnt pass emmisions and ended up seafoaming the gas oil and intake mani about 3 days after the seafoam my car started to make this wee wee wee wee wee sound when i let it warm up. over the next week it got worse and now im squeaking everywhere i go! as soon as i hit the clutch the squeak goes away in fact i can barely rest my foot on the pedal and the sound disaapears anyone seen this before? :?

mine sounded like a constant cricket in my bay. with your car idling & squeeking, pinch the boot of the slave cyl and see it it stops squeeking.

that was my thought also but with the clutch petal in the throw out bearing would be spinning and should squeal so its backwards...
