Default Clutch noise w/ video

Does anyone know what this sound is? It squeaks when I use the clutch. It goes away after the car is driving for a few miles on a warm day.

It doesn't appear to be the pedal from inside the car as it's really noisy from outside.

I have the exact same noise. There are 2 separate noises. One is from the clutch pad itself. The other one is coming from outside the car. You can go under the car and grease the "joint" (you can see it if you look under the car and someone depresses the clutch). This is just a short term solution as it comes back.

most 5spd owners get that noise. it comes and goes. there are a few threads on this already, but rest assured nothing is wrong with it.
for me it only happens if I let the car sit over the weekend without driving it. goes away completely after a short drive.

now if you get the whirring noise when you let out the clutch (even in neutral), thats a noise to be actually worried about. it goes away when you push the clutch in and people say its related to the input shaft. if you get that it may be time for some new fluids.

So if getting the whirring noise, change the tranny fluid and it takes care of the noise? Anything else that needs to be done?
