05 V6 5-speed bought in June.
Now it has ~6,000 miles on it, and just recently I've noticed an intermittent sqealing sound coming from the clutch just as it's engaging when the car is cold.
It is more noticeable if you let the clutch out a bit more slowly with more throttle (like when taking off from a stop going uphill.) Usually only notice it in first gear but I've heard it a couple of times in second as well.
Once the car (clutch, transmission) warms up, the sound goes away....
So is my clutch slipping? I haven't been racing it (not really anyway) and I've never heard this on any other car I've had.
Thanks for any advice,
Dana
