Clutch Creaking

I know it sounds weird, but when I step on the clutch to change gears, I can feel through my feet the mechanical engagement of the clutch and on hot days, it creaks like a door.

It happens when I am driving in town. Not driving like a maniac either. I've only really noticed it on the hot days. Cooler days have no issues.

I'm wondering if I need to grease a slave cylinder, or clutch fork or something.

I did a search, but didn't come up with anything definitive.

Thanks!

Mine was doing that. Also over dips in the road. Turned out to be a bad control arm bushing. Replaced with a Moog arm

The clutch pedal creaks or the throw out bearing is making noise?
