tried some grease on the point where piston hits the fork but no luck, it seems to be lower down under the clutch fork boot.
before i go digging around and removing shit tomorrow i though i would check to see if anyone has an idea on what it could be.
It's not hindering the clutch at all but my thinking is if its squeaking then its wearing and i don't like that one bit.

So today i had a bit of time to fiddle with the car.
swapped my indicators to Phantom's
also pumped some Nulon G70 into the box cause 3rd was a bit too notchy for my liking.
BUT...
I got a pretty bad squeak from the clutch fork

Sounds like the fork is squeaking on the pivot ball Ty.
Just whip out the box, grease up the ball, and chuck the box back in.
Easy.
Or...
Maybe pull back the fork boot and spray some Viscotene or similar on the ball, if you can see it.
If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

So i woke up this morning and realised that i was only dreaming when i pulled the box out, greased it all up and put it back together... 
guess i have to start all over again lol, im going to try get some grease on it with a long cotton bud, i read somewhere about someone prying the fork back and being able to do it... wish me luck.

Try and get a spray can of Lithium Grease. Most come with one of those long thin spray straws to direct the spray.
It may save you a lot of rooting around.

ok FML...
trying to get the cracked and brittle clutch fork "Rubber" boot off, half the FKN thing cracked and fell inside bell housing
its gone now.. good luck trying to get it so anyway i greased up what i could but its still got the squeaks, but the clutch is smoother.
oh and started the car... CRACK SCREECH WHIRRRRRRrrrrrrrrr silence... guess that was the bit of "rubber" being obliterated by the flywheel lol
off to the wreckers to try find one in better condish.
and i'll try track down a can of suggested sprays.
update tonight lol

update... Lithium Grease = Win
and the clutch is not slipping so i didn't miss 
clutch is so SO much smoother now too! it used to be really hard, i thought maybe the pedal spring was just set quite hard or something but now it is so smooth it must have just been it binding on the Pivot.
only problem is the boot is still being eatten up every now and then lol.
