clutch problems

I've been experiencing some minor noise from my clutch mainly squeaking when pressing or depressing the clutch peddle (going on for 2 months)but recently I've been experiencing a squealing noise like a bad belt but went away after depressing the clutch (going on for about 3 days) but just now the clutch peddle started sticking while depressing the clutch i was 1 block away from the house when this had happened when i got in the drive checked the fluid level is fine the clutch bracket is fine no play hasn't broke yet but when i restarted the car and pressed the clutch the engine sounds like it wants to stall just need some clarity on whats going on and what i can do to diagnose so i can know what to replace

That is the bearing, which is normal for it to squeek on our cars.

Some mechanics have been able to squirt lube up there to resolve the squeek.

Do a search on pilot bearing.

Is this also accompanied by difficulty shifting and/or a crunching or grinding sound when shifting gears?
