Probably needs a clutch actuator that's what the dealership replaced to take care of my squeaky clutch.

well I can spray some WD-40 (carefully) up where it squeeks and it stops for a week or two but when it gets cold out it starts back up.

Mine did that last winter as well.

I grabbed the Volume Knob on my stereo and turned it Clockwise. Surprisingly, that was the last time that I heard my clutch pedal squeak in the cold weather.

A more permanent solution would be to put a little bit of grease on the squeaky part. That would probably solve the problem.

Mine is doing the same, and did last winter. As noted, the solution is on your volume knob or steering wheel volume controls.

Mine doesnt squeak but it kinda has this popping feel on my foot but no sound? it feels like its catching just slightly as i let out on the pedal a few times. does in pushing in too. Think some greas will fix it?

That maybe the clutch switch sticking. I don't think putting any grease on it will help, but I don't think it will hurt either.

mine doesn't squeak but it clicks everytime I push in the clutch. I've kinda got used to it and most of the time i'm listening to music so i don't hear it so i forget about it. Its definitely the switch because I pushed in the switch with my finger without pushing on the pedal and it still clicks. So my problem lies with the switch, but it still works because the car still starts and the cruise control works.
