1990 f150 squeak when shifting
Just got a 1990 with a 302. It makes a short squeak or chirp when shifting particularly when shifting up into second or third. Is this normal? Any thoughts on what it might be?

After a bit more playing around, I notice the noise occurs as I let off the clutch. It seems like it is as whatever engages engages (forgive me. Not a mechanic). If I hold the clutch in that position the noise continues. Could that still be a serpentine belt thing, or does it sound more like a clutch issue?

A clutch/pressure plate throwout bearing problem typically makes noise when the clutch pedal is just pushed in a little, and no noise when the clutch pedal is fully out and usually fully in.
Can usually get by with this for quite a while, but it will eventually fail - meaning no need to wig out, but put it on the list of things to do within a month or two or if the noise level should change suddenly.
Might be a good time to inspect and consider clutch replacement, pressure plate resurfacing, and or slave cylinder replacement while things are already apart...
