Forester making "chirping" sound

D

DMH

I have a 2006 Forester XT 5 spd manual. I have put about 4500 km on
it. I have just recently noticed that the clutch is making a
"chirping" or squeaking noise as I release it while starting on a
steep grade. Any thoughts?

Hill hold.
Get used to it.
And get used to driveline shunt and crunches if it's a manual - i have an 02
FXS that has all the same "quirks".

FYI, your gusset windows *will* start leaking air and hissing at 70KPH+.
Probably pop up when it's 2-2.5 years old.
Just make sure you push the doors shut by using the door, if you shut the
doors using the window you can only expect 6-12 months before it starts
hissing.
