yes-I have had this problem to-(I have an 04 mcs). I noticed that the problem started to occur about this summer, especially on the clutch relapse, after I had been driving around for awhile, and I am generally a hard driver. At first I thought it was the suspension, but limited it to the clutch. Generally the less smoother the shift, the louder the squeek, is this not correct? A sort of high pitched eerrk? You coud really make it sound off by just depressing the clutch, and then letting it go with out blipping the throttle or shifting-then it would really erk. I have heard stuff like clutch relapse spring, dirt, somethings grinding in the clutch, and everything like this, but no one seemed to know. I just drove it gingerly and with time it went away. I think I can ever so slightly hear the erk now if bad clutch timing occurs. The point is, I dont think it is anything major or anything to worry about and will go away with time.
