I hear a squealing sound when I am shifting gears. The sound comes when the clutch is engaging itself back to the pressure plate. When the clutch is fully depressed the sound goes away but when I am releasing the clutch it will squeal but the squealing goes away when the clutch is fully released. Sometimes in first gear when I am going slow and release the throttle it will squeal, when I press on the gas the squeal will go away. Do you think this sounds like a bad pressure plate like maybe it would be slipping or something?
