Mine sounded exactly like this.

I'll answer my own question.

Pulled back the rubber boot around the clutch fork today and sprayed white lithium grease randomly inside the housing (with clutch in and out) and the squeak went away and it feels buttery smooth now.

Protips:
1) The bottle doesn't spray upside down, which makes maneuvering it into place difficult. It is possible to orient the can vertically on the drivers side of the bell housing to spray in grease.
2) Put a piece of tape to tether the spray straw to the can. The first one I had fell off into the bell housing.

I'll report back later on how long this fix lasts.
