squeaking noise on slow decel and when in reverse

i notice with the clutch out in gear if im in decel and im going slow i hear a squeal coming from the car. this also happens when im in reverse. if i push the clutch it it stops.

i also notice that when i depress the clutch i can hear the springs in my pressure late creek pretty loud.

if i replace the clutch and all associated parts will this sound go away?

You're describing the symptoms my car had when I first got it. Turned out to be caused by bad U-joints. They're "non-replaceable" so you'll either need to swap the driveshaft or take it to a rear end shop where they can put in new replaceable u-joints. I've heard from some people that they tend to fail and from others that they're great so it probably depends on the shop that did them.

Hope this helps,

Luis
