Its just the clutch pedal and attachments.  You can grease them and it will stop.  I had the same problem with mine.

Easy fix...Get some lithium grease (the white grease you can find at places like Wal-Mart in the little tubes) and grease the SPRING on the clutch pedal, not the joints.  If you get into your floorboard and look up near where the clutch pedal is hinged, there is a spring in there.  Put on a rubber glove, get some grease on your finger and smear it all over the spring.  Make sure to get the back side too.  You'll know what I'm talking about when you get in there and look.  If you put your finger on the spring while moving the clutch pedal you can feel it vibrate when it squeaks.  I greased the spring probably 3 or 4 months ago, and it hasn't squeaked since.

I am no expert, but I think he means you need to get on your back under your dash where your pedals are and look up.
