clutch problems? (vid included)

sorry for bad quality but as you can hear it squeaking when I press and depress the clutch but the real problem is the ti-ti-ti-ti-tick sound when clutch isn't pressed you can barely hear it in the video but the sound goes away when I press the clutch. can it be because i need a new clutch/flywheel soon?

hm is that referring to clutch squeaking when I press/depress or the ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-tick sound when I'm not pressing the clutch? My roommate had the same problem (he owns 05 rx8 too) and he told me when he "greased" the clutch it went away for like 1 month and came back so he gave up.

I'm worried about the fast tick tick tick tick sound when clutch is depressed.

The squeaking most likely means your clutch pedal bracket is due to snap soon. Get under there and take a peek at it. Just crawling under the dash and looking for any metal starting to rip on the bracket would work.
