Default Squeky sounds when decelerating?

I don't know if its my clutch or not but If I am in gear and slowing down the car has a constant squeak, almost like a brake squeal but its directly under the car and somewhat near the bellhousing.
It also will make sqeaking sounds with normal driving around 1500rpm or at least thats when I seem to hear it.

Its a stock LS6 clutch from what I understand and my car makes right around 530hp @ flywheel.

Ideas?

When in gear, and it is squeaking, what happens if you push in teh clutch? Does it go away? Stay there? Could be TOB or PB

It goes away when clutch is in or its in neutral. The noise is now in any gear when I am under load and engine braking.

If you push in the clutch and it goes away, I would say TOB. Maybe teh PB, but more than likely TOB. But, since you have to pull tranny either way, you can check/replace PB while you are there.
