    I have a 2005 Tacoma SR5 manual transmission. When I let the clutch out, the worst squeak ever happens until the clutch pedal is stepped on again. Please help!

    Uploading a video to youtube and then linking it here would be very helpful to others to help diagnose the issue.

    Sounds like the release bearing (throw out bearing) is making noise

    Sometimes they make noise under load - pedal pressed down

    Sometimes they make noise free-wheeling (unloaded)

    Since these trucks don't use a pilot bearing the only thing it could really be is the throw out bearing. Classic symptoms. How many miles on the clutch, original?
