Transmission chirps when clutch not depressed

I have a 1990 manual transmission that chirps when the clutch is not depressed, in neutral or in gear. But when I depress the clutch slightly, the chirp disapears. Any ideas on what needs to be adjusted and how would be appreciated

I have this exact same problem. Can't figure it out for the life of me. It seems to just go away when you slightly touch the clutch pedal....ANY ONE HELP!!

I believe your through out bearing is starting to fail. The chirping is the bearing making noise under light load. replace the through out bearing to eliminate the load.
