Default Creaky clutch

My clutch suddenly starting creaking, near the top when I'm letting it out. Very annoying and maybe a sign of worse problems? Is this a common problem? Anything obvious for me to check?

Ya know I have the same problem, BUT one thing I got different is, My clutch is going out. It chatters taking off, and slips in everyother gear.
I went online a prced a new clutch from Gm Perfomance(A sponsor) 428 shipped to my door with new flywheel......

the link is:

Then search this part number: 12570806
That is the LS6 Clutch and fly wheel I was talking about.

Just one other thing, it may just be coincidence, but my clutch creaking didnt start until AFTER I installed my shifter.....But I am thinking that was just time for my clutch to go, it has over 60k on it.

Just crawl under the dash and take a look - should be pretty obvious.

Hmm, I don't see a spring, just a pedal that pushes a cylinder up and down into the firewall area.
