Moaning clutch (was shifter wobble)

     This is true, most (all?) hydraulic clutches are self adjusting, when 
     they go out they are done, this was the same story in my Supra (3 
     clutches later, I had a truck clutch put in).  I think I have this 
     same sound also, sort of a moaning sound when engaging in first or 
     reverse when the pedal is about half way out.  Only started recently 
     at about 32,000miles.  Started only when I was starting on hills or 
     under load, now I notice it in any situation, but it is still 
     intermitant, I took it to the dealer and got the ever popular "unable 
     to reproduce at this time" So I'm hoping it isn't the clutch going 
     out, but I figure when it gets really bad it will be covered by the 
     10/100,000 and if it is the clutch I would say it was defective if it 
     only lasted 40,000 miles.  Anyone else?

     I haven't noticed a squeak from the rear, but some strange sound can 
     be heard when engaging in first and sometimes a second gear.  It comes 
     from the front, a second or so after the gear was engaged.  I always 
     thought it has to do something with a clucth.
     
     BTW, is the clutch really not adjustable on GLX?  I asked service 
     couple of times, and they say it can not be adjusted since it's a 
     hydraulic clutch.
