squeaking while shifting
squeaking while shifting new master cylinder put in last friday, bled the **** out of the clutch lines several times, still hard to shift, then yesterday, everything miraculously started working as it should. All day, ~ 50 miles or so driven, the trans shifted butter smooth, no grinding, not notchiness, slipped in and out of gear with ease, etc.
Today...
Everything was going great on my way to work. However, at about the last mile or so I start getting a squeak each time I shift. It's coming from the trans area, and stops when I let the clutch petal out. It goes on to do this for the next few gear changes, then stops. About this time, it started acting like there's an air bubble in the line again. Hard to get into gear unless I pump the clutch a few times (not every time, intermittent problem).
I came home early, and the same symptoms were present. It doesn't happen every shift, but it happens enough. The chirping gear change seems to happen around the same time the shifting issue occurs.
trans fluid was changed about 3 weeks ago too; 25k miles on the fluid, came out looking like it was fresh out of the bottle.
also, I just checked the clutch fluid level. hasn't gone down a single bit. The color is same as fresh out of the bottle, no signs of burning, no particles, etc.
I'm starting to get real tired of this ****.

I would be willing to bet that your throw out bearing is going bad and possibly your slave cylinder. Is there any way you can get the car on a lift? It might help you diagnose the problem easlier.
sadly, I don't have access to a lift anymore. The best I can do is a stack of 2x8's and some jackstands.

Brett Foote Once on the lift have someone in the car and start it and listen to try to pin point the noise. And look for any leaks in the clutch hydraulics.
