   Every time i put my foot on the clutch, theres a squeaking/screaching sound. Clutch slips abit to when i put my foot down.
   
   Is the clutch on the way out?

   Yup, the screaching is the release bearing. It will probably look something like:
   
   
   The slipping will be the clutch friction plate.
   
   You'll need to get a replacement kit: bearing, pressure plate and friction plate.

   Gr8,
   
   You really need to be extra careful when putting the gearbox back in as the release bearing can pop off really easily.
   
   Good luck
