Need new Pressure Plate at 37,000 miles?

[snoball420]

Hey all,
I have a 2004 Ranger XLT with a manual tranny, and when i take off quickly or start in 2nd gear, i will hear a squealing noise. After I get up to speed, i have no problem, but it will happen when i first start off, while engaging the clutch. On warm days, i wont have a problem, which makes me think as it warms up, the plate expands, and will make contact and doesn't make the noise..... What do you guys think???

The pressure plate is making contact with the disk if you're moving at all.

It does sound like it might be the clutch protesting, though I doubt it's a temperature thing. As a WAG, you're burning off the brake fluid the slave spit (or the crankcase oil from a valve cover leak) on it.
