OMG theres A Mouse in mY ENginE!!!!!!

Not realy but i am having a serious bad noise i just noticed. I was siting in my garage with engine off, and just pressing on the clutch and when i pressed slowly i can hear a horrible screaching noise comming from the engine. So i got my g/f to sit in my car and push my clutch in and out a lot while i was put my head into the bay and listening and it sounds like its comming from the Blue clutching thingy that moved in and out....i forgot the name. however when i press the clutch fast like normal shifting theres no screeching. so i was seeing if this is an issue im hearing before feeling later on when its too late, or nothing to worry about...or something needs some KY on it??? i can take a video sometime if needed.....thnx

I'm guessing this is louder than the normal Mitsubishi clutch squeek? Okay heres the quick reference points everyone will ask for: Are the fluids topped off? How many miles on the car and the clutch. Have you installed anything clutch related? My 1st guess would be the KY solution but with white lithium grease instead, non petroleum based and stays where you put it

It's probably nothing more than wear and lack of lube but you can have a mechanic check it out for mis-alignment if you see obvious signs of wear on the actuator arm, bent, etc...
