Default clutch squeal when pressed.

i wasn't thinking strait and tried to show off, and ended up burning my clutch because i smell it. but the problem is when ever i press the clutch, it makes squeal sound, and i think clutch is not fully engaged when ever i am pressing the clutch. it only happens in low gears as well. Is it throwout bearing gone bad? and if i am going to replace throwout bearing and pilot bearing, would it be better off just changing whole clutch as well? or can i keep my clutch? it has 80k miles on it.

What did you do? You mean you were trying to show off?

What exactly happened?

My clutch pedal squeeks occasionally. Doesn't bother me though. I think all my cars at some point has squeeks from the clutch pedal.

It is coming from clutch disk. I was pressing both clutch and gas then let the clutch go to spin the car. Then after I hear the noise.

That's probably a slipping/worn pressure plate that no longer fully engages the transmission. If that is correct, you should feel "slipping" (along with the noise) when releasing the clutch.

The clutch tends to randomly squeak on alot of Zs. common.

Most cases its the clutch fork, pivot ball joint or the throwout bearing.

You still never explained what happened. Maybe it would help diagnose the issue.
