Default Clutch squealing pulling out

Sometimes when I am on a slight incline and pull out and the car shutters a bit there is a sqeaking/squealing sound that is in sync with the shuttering. It has never done this until recent. Anybody know what this is most likely to be? Is this a sign of a failing clutch? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, pretty sure it is the stock clutch. The last few times I have driven the car I have noticed a faint smell after starting the car that smells like burning clutch. At first I thought I had spilled a little oil on the motor when I did an oil change recently, but thats not it.

Mine had the same condition and it was the clutch. Replaced it and all is well, I'd start doing some research on what you may want to go with. You might want to replace everything while you in there since it's such a big job if you leave something that also needed replacing but you didn't and might need to take it all down again. JMHO
