Clutch Spring Question

Hello, I have a '98 Boxster and the clutch pedal has always made a creaking sound when you depress it. I assumed it was the clutch spring as they have been known to make noises. Well, I just removed my clutch spring and it still makes the creaking noise (but I can't tell exactly where it is coming from).
  1. Does anyone know the next place I should look for the creaking noise coming from the clutch pedal?
  2. I bought a replacement clutch spring but it is the new design with the "captive pin" (see the picture). Can I use this with my current clutch pedal or is there an upgraded bracket? I believe this may have been redesigned over time.

I have the same creaky screen door type sound when pushing in the clutch with the car off. The noise is coming from the pivot fork or clutch slave cylinder on my car (something done there). I decided not to mess with it until I change the clutch.
