Default Clutch going out?

Last week I noticed a faint high pitched squeal occurring as I let the clutch out in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear. The sound is very similar to brake squeal but much more subtle. Is this related to the "clutch buzz" issue?

probably, it doesn't mean it's going to go out anytime soon but I read that changing the clutch SHOULD fix it.

Hope this helps.

clutch buzz is common on ap1's but causes no damage on the car.

if you have a hill, try to go to a higher gear like 5th or 6th and floor it. if the rpms climb but you arent accelerating then you know that its slipping. thats how i usually tell
