Hence why I asked the question I asked above.

If the clutch gives a quick squeak when you push in the pedal, and then stops, it is most likely just the fork needing grease.

If it is a constant squeal instead of a squeak, and is prolonged, that would most likely be the throw-out/release bearing.

Important to diagnose properly to avoid unnecessary expenditure.

I had my throw out bearing, pressure plate, and clutch fork all replaced under warranty at 84k on my car after the bearing blew. He gave me the option to do the whole clutch at the same time, but I was told my clutch still had about 55-60% life left, so I opted to not do it at the time. Perhaps I'll regret that moving forward, but to replace a clutch that has almost half it's usable surface material remaining seemed silly, even if it is expensive to get in there labour-wise.
