screeching/rubbing noise when releasing clutch

Lately ive noticed, more usually in the morning when the car is cold, as i start lifting my foot of the clutch, at the point where it just grabs on, it makes a light screeching/rubbing noise and then goes off once my foot is off completely. doesnt feel like my clutch plates are gone or slipping, theyre grabbing strong. Anybody know what this could be?

if it tob, might as well get a new clutch... you need to take the whole thing apart to get to it anyway

Anybody know what this could be? Based on this description it sounds like a problem that happens just at the point where the friction material engages the flywheel - so think in terms of worn, contaminated or glazed clutch disc ... I've even heard of worn motor mounts causing unnatural noise from the clutch, but I have no idea how that might work.
