Default Squeak and rattling sound

Latley my car has been randomly making a squeak/rattle sound similar to the sounds brakes make when the pads get low but it does not happen all of the time. When the sound does occur it get to be the loudest when I push the clutch pedal down to change gears and then gets quieter or goes away. Sound only occurs when the car is moving. Everything else functions and feels normal.

Any ideas?

Sounds like it could possibly be the pilot bearing, any difficulties shifting at high rpm?

Agreed, the pilot is the most probable cause.

No difficulties at higher RPM just a tad tougher to throw into gear at times when car is not moving.

Do you notice any change in required effort to select gears if you pump the pedal?

No. Nothing feels out of place or different. The sound however is now more constant than before and when the clutch pedal is pressed and up shifting. It is also the loudest from gears 1-4.

Can you supply a sound clip or video of the noise?

Still trying to figure this out. Noise is still present and sounds like squealing brakes when the pads are worn. Checked the brakes and and everything else. Sound only occurs when the car is moving. Had a shop take a look at it and they said its related to the gears due to the 4.11s I have is a used set.

Sorry no videos yet.

Made a short video. Hard to hear becuase of my GMMG/LTs but you can start to hear the rattling screeching noise at 00:20 and the best at 00:30.

Hard to hear in the video from the passenger seat...you mention the car is hard to get into gear when stopped, does it creep forward when you rev it up in gear with clutch pedal depressed to the floor on a level surface?

Car does not creep foward at all. Car drives and shifts just as it was when it was like new.
