Please don't bash me for asking about this.
I know it's been covered before and I did do a search and viewed the threads. But it is still unclear to me whether a sqeaky clutch indicates mechanical failure/deterioration, user mistake, or harmless annoyance.
After only about 250 miles did my clutch start to "squeek" Happens a lot now especially after warming up the car, but doesn't happen all the time, only periodically. I haven't adjusted the clutch at all. I'm not experiencing any grinding or slipping and aotherwise the car runs great.
Could there really not be enough clutch fluid or similar deficiency on a car that only has 300 miles on it? I'm concerned cuz I'm in the break-in period and I don't want to mess up my G. Any input would be appreciated.

Squeek? I know there is "whine" noise around 2000-3500 rpm. When you rev to about 2000-3500 and step on the clutch pedal, you will here this "whine" or wind noise. Sounds kinda odd to me but I hear it is normal. Is this the squeek you are refering to? I first thought it was something that can be fixed from the dealer but other members here said it is normal. *shrugs*. It is a little annoying but if you turn on your music, you won't really hear it or shift after 3500 (which you will, after the break-in period, trust me 
). I heard it during my break-in period as well but since I'm at 3200 miles, I don't really notice it anymore (maybe I got use to it 
).

Thanks for the reply. The squeek I am hearing actually isn't the sound when you let out the revs at 3-4k
My clutch will actually "squeek" when I first turn the car on when I depress the cluch and the engine is not revved. The clutch will again squeek when I put it into 1st gear before moving. It actually doesn't squeek that much when upshifting or when revved. any thoughts?

Maybe just turn on the music right when you start the car? Well, have the dealer take a gander. Maybe it needs to be lubed?
