   The clutch cable only leads through to the gearbox arm.. You sure its just not the pedal in the car squeaking ? lol
   
   If not...
   
   Check the gearbox arm

   Is the squeak constant when the clutch is in? Or does it just occur as the pedals pushed in and then stop?

   Might be your clutch release bearing getting knackered.

   I had a very similar noise, had driveshafts sorted and one replaced and squeak went...
   
   Also thought it was the release bearing but driveshafts sorted it

   Easy check.
   Do you get the squeek with engine running?
   
   NO - put a small drop of oil on the release arm where it enters the gearbox
   
   YES - release bearing is breaking up-look to replace it shortly.
