CA New mystery sound!

So last night my car started making a squeaking sound when it is in reverse. Only reverse, uphill, downhill, and flat ground. Anyone have any ideas? It makes a steady "squeak, squeak, squeak" when ever I'm letting off the clutch or it is completely out. Is my clutch making this sound? It seems fine. Help please. At least give me some ideas where to start looking because I'm kind of baffled at this point.

Let me ask you this, have you heard a "TING" when going from R to 1st? It is your u-joints on the driveshaft. If it is stock, replace it. I just replaced mine this weekend and posted some pix. Check it out. It is a snap!

Only when it's moving. There is no "ting" between r and 1
