I had my master and slave cylinders both replaced about 1,500 miles ago. I had a new clutch and throw out bearng installed as well as a transmission rebuild 600 miles ago. Now, with the car on or off (in any gear) something from underneath the car makes a squeak / creak sound when the pedal is pushed in or out.

It sounds like it maybe coming from the clutch itself. The sound is rather loud. The pedal does not squeak.

Is there some joint underneath the car that needs some grease? Or is this crankwalk??

There are no other symptoms. Clutch pedal feels nice. Clutch does not stick to the floor. The weather has been constant over here.
 
what clutch did you put in lightwegiht fly wheel stock if it was stock did you get it resurfaced? did you use mitsu throw out bearing ?
 
It's most likely the clutch arm and pivot ball. One it's starts to go it creaks and moans, then snaps off and your clutch will work sometimes and then go completely out, then is can come back. Reach under the hood and grap teh arm that the slave pushes and see if you can wiggle it. If you can and it's not fairly tight, you need to replace it ASAP before you're towing the car home.
