Clutch sounds?

Clutch sounds?
Hello. My 99 is making an intermittent sound when depressing/releasing the clutch pedal. It's a squeeking that sorta sounds like a seagull...for lack of a better explanation. Clutch still grabs nicely but that sound is driving me crazy. Doesn't happen all the time and there's really no conditions under which it happens...totally random.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Rpms don't matter. I haven't found any set of conditions that trigger the sound...seems totally random. Comes and goes. Checked the fluid level...it's not dropping...no leaks found.
I'll try the lube on the plate you spoke of...hopefully that does it!
Oh...and I'm a guy...the Miata is the wife's...hence "herMiata". I drive a modified LT1 Z28 but I must admit that after installing some degassed/revalved Konis, a RB 1.125 front sway bar with Moll(?) heim-joint endlinks and an Enthuza XR exhaust, I enjoy driving the Miata quite a bit. Can't wait to see how it does at the autocross this weekend! Sorry for the confusion.

look at the clutch pedal and you'll see a little metal cylinder thing that moves in and out when you push the clutch pedal. You have to be looking at the clutch pedal and all to see it. That thing randomly squeaks on my 99 and it does kinda sound like a seagull sort of. Just give it a spray of some WD-40 or something and see if that dosn't do it. Does it happen to make this squeak with the car off as well? If so, it's probably that little cylinder thing I'm talking about. I've never seen a bad TOB squeak before.

My car's done that so long I've just ignored it.
But, here's the question, is it while the pedal is in motion, or while the clutch is in?
If it's while the clutch is in, then it's not a lube-something issue, those only happen when something is moving.
Mine makes a weird sound when I pull away from a stop sometimes - Trow Out Bearing makes sense, but my old clutch did it till the clutch went (20-30k?) and the new clutch does it, so I guess I'll just wait for something bad to happen - or till someone sends me a pristine low mileage six speed out of the kindness of their heart.
