stop light.
green light. (GO)

1. depress clutch
2. shift to 1st
3. feather clutch and gas to get going
4. depress clutch to shift to 2nd
5. shift to 2nd
6. feather clutch and gas to keep going SQUEEK!!! just for a split second
while 2nd gear kicks in?! WTF!!!!
It sometimes does it and sometimes it all good
It seems to happen at that moment when you up shift and the torque kicks in to help make it to the next gear…

PLEASE HELP! any insight would be greatly appreciated

It does not affect driving at all but common a dam squeak?! and no there is no mouse in there powering my gearbox.
What ever ended up coming out of these issues? My car started making this sound for the first time the other day after I hadn't driven it for 5 days. It is exactly as described above except the sound is coming from the clutch pedal for sure, not the shifter. I just got done driving and the sound was there on almost every shift. Only when under load though. If I am stopped or the car is off I can press/release the clutch over and over and it isn't there. I don't feel anything but I hear it pretty loud and clear. It does sound like something just needs to be lubricated better but the inconsistencies in the noise showing up make me think otherwise. Any help is appreciated.
