Squeaking shifts?!?! Help

CERBERUSlucid

Well basically this just started to happen out of the dam blue... when shift from 1st-2nd- and sometimes even 3rd & 4th I hear a slight squeaking/rubbing noise like something is not lubricated properly... it seems to be coming from the shifter area...and it goes kinda like this when im driving...

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.

This actually happened to me last night. No problems today, though.

i get a squeak when going from 4th to 5th only. I only got that occationally when the car was new, but it seems to happen quite frequently now, almost every other 4-5 shift. Interestly, I only get the noise when I'm actually shifting 4-5 while driving. Can't duplicate it if i'm stopped or if the engine's not running.

How many miles are on the car? If I understand correctly, the shifter is already in second gear and as you engage the clutch (let of the pedal) and apply the gas, you hear a squeaking noise?

Strange that you don't hear it from a stop in first.

Only things I can think of:

1. Clutch disk has a hairline fracture in it somewhere. Similar to a crack in brake pads, could cause noise during engagement/disengagement.

2. Possible the flywheel isnt perfectly smooth or has some type of foreign material on the surface.

3. Throw out bearing being load in some strange way. I know the TOB in my 09 sucks and makes a good bit of noise on a cold start and if the clutch is disengaged with the tranny in neutral.

Really, this is one of those odd ball things. If it were driving me crazy, I would probably go out and give the clutch a good burn or two, leaving ample time inbetween (10 minutes or so) to keep temps from getting too high.

UPDATE:
Correct and like you im just thinking its just one of those oddball things that happens to every other car...but since its been getting hotter now that its summer the squeeks went away?! now it only happens every blue moon (still better than before) but anyways thxto everyone who shared an opinion and who has similar issues...

and it can only be replicated while driving, i can sit in my garage all day going through the gears and its fine. Its only while driving
Well I will stay up to date on the issue and just let nature take its course i guess.

It happened to me 1 time few days ago, i was going to work car was warm and i drove for about .9 miles where i stopped on a red light, green turned and as i shift in to second from 1st i hear this tire lock up squeak for like a sec but everything felt fine the car was moving and everything not even a jerk or nothing, i had my windows down so i heard it pretty loud. OAT was like 73F
haven't heard it since.

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.
