clutch squealing help

[kirko]

I have had this problem for a few weeks and was wondering if anyone else has had it. I have 14,000 miles on my aveo, and when the clutch is engaged (foot off pedal) it will make a chirping/squealing noise. As soon as i even touch the pedal, it goes away. If i am under the hood and grab the clutch release rod with my hand, and either movie it away or towards the slave cylinder, it goes away. It sounds like a bad preload on the clutch and the throwout bearing is touching and squeaking. Anyone else ever have this problem? Here is a TSB that i found for my EXACT to the "T" problem, except its for jeeps.

Any help at all would be appreciated.

you should be able to pay to get the clutch replaced for less than $1000 at an expensive shop... Thats more than your buying the car for, but the aveo is worth a lot more than the $1800 you'd have into it. I've had friends pay as little as $600.
