Let the little bird out that will fix it lol.

Does it do it when its cold and hot? You might have a vaccum leak or somthing.

Is the clutch OK? Is the engine aligned alright? I am thinking the clutches are not aligned.

Mine does it also. My noise does come from the clucth area. It does it at slow speeds...seems to go away when my rpm's get going. Will it hurt anything to let it go un-fixed?

actually what i think you are hearing is the clutch letting go of the belt... as the clutch slides open with decreasing rpms it will let go of the belt causing a small churp churp churp sound

I would say that the belt is out of adjustment, or the sides of the clutch may need to be cleaned and resurfaced (by lightly sanding).
