My 94 "Aussie Spec" with 110K Km, has developed an odd "chirp" sound. It
occurs intermittently when the clutch is released while changing up gears.
The car is running just fine other than that. Anyone got any ideas on where
to begin looking?

It could of course be a lubrication / linkage issue mechanically but
assuming you're getting this sound from under the hood, I'd check your
belts. I know that may sound unrelated but I believe when the engine is
torqued (releasing the clutch) that a belt with marginal grip will sometimes
chirp (loose traction for a second before catching back up to speed). It's
worth a shot.

You probably need to grease the slave cylinder linkage, where the piston
attaches to the lever, unless you have already checked that.
