i work for toyota and own a TC just got it.. and its rainin out now. i would go out and look if it wasnt. is their any kind of boot? or rubber gromets that are near moving parts. i know the old camary's and avalons have a squeak when you turn the steering wheel. so the fix is white grease inbetween the boot and shaft.its simply just the rubber making noise against the metal steering shaft. so in this instance would be something rubber to metal, havent heard it but hope this helped..it may have been said but 3 pages was to much

I just started noticing the clutch squeak last week (@ 45K)! Anyone try to have the dealership do web's fix? I have a feeling they won't cover it for free since I'm out of the extended warranty, even though I have extra care. They refused to cover the hatch rattles I've had since day one because I finally brought it in and left it for the day when I was already past 36k. Bastardos

In MD, we have salty winters and humid/dry summers. A good greasing in late November for me would be a good idea and then one more just before the summer (June). Just clean the old stuff off and put new stuff on

Waking the dead on this thread.
I noticed a slight squeak yesterday after parking my car at home all day. I got in and "squeak!!"......damn!
Well, here's my steps on how to fix it
How to fix some minor clutch squeak and feel your clutch pedal smoother than ever
1)Located slave cylinder (front of transmission....just look straight down to the right of the upper radiator hose)
2)The yellow is just another spot I put grease on (it's where the slave cylinder rod comes out and pushes on the clutch fork.
3)Pull back on the rubber boot lined with red by pulling the little flap circled in red
4)You will see a metal arm reaching into the transmission (the clutch fork)
5)Get some high temperature bearing grease on your finger and apply it to that arm as far as your finger can reach into the housing.
6)Get someone to pump the clutch a few times and then hold it in all the way
7)you will see it move to the right and allow you to apply more grease to the other side of the fork (MAKE SURE THEY HOLD THE CLUTCH OR YOU'LL PINCH YOUR FINGER!)
8 )Make sure you cover all sections of the fork your finger can reach
9)replace the boot and start the car
10)give the clutch pedal a few pushes and then feel the difference
My clutch springs back quickly and MUCH smoother than stock ever did. I love the new feel of it

Just wanted to post and let everyone know that I am another 2005 Scion tC owner that has just started experiencing this problem with about 30k mileage.
It seems this thread has the most information on how to resolve this issue, so I am going to try web's fix when I get home. Thank you web for finding a resolution to this problem. The pictures are very helpful.
