squeaky clutch???
It doesn't have to be the actual throw-out bearing spinning that makes the noise. When you work the clutch (even with the engine turned off) the T-O bearing slides in & out on a tube surrounding the input shaft. That tube might need some grease, or maybe it's the pivot of the T-O fork that needs grease.
It can also be the master or slave cylinders, but I think that would sound different?

Some possibilities are bad news...
1) The piston rod in the slave cylinder. Open the rubber boot at the slave, & open the smaller accordion-type boot on the piston rod. Grease inside there.
2) Ball & socket end of that rod. The outer end of that piston rod is a ball that sits in a socket on the throw-out fork. Grease that.
3) Ball/Pivot of the shift fork. That's a short distance inside the bellhousing. It's kinda hard to get to, maybe get some grease on a long slender tool of some kind. I wouldn't spray grease all over in there, because you don't want to grease up your clutch plate.
4) Sliding surfaces of the throw-out bearing itself. That's the tube I'm talking about above. I don't think you can get to this without removing the transmission...

If you leave it I hope it'll keep squeaking for a really long time before it does any real damage to itself.
I've greased the stuff I can reach without removing the transmission. That's #1, 2, & sorta #3. That made it better, but not completely gone. Now I'm waiting for my clutch to wear out; in the meantime I turn up the stereo...
