Noise getting out of first gear ??
I notice I strange squealing getting off the clutch in first gear (sounds kind of like a belt noise), only happens sometimes, basically right where the catch point is an when the the clutch grabs, what could this be ? Also does it at times in reverse gear
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Does it sound kinda like a soft WOOP or WEEP? 
Friction disc material, under pressure, makes a little noise as its slip rate is decreasing to nearly zero.
I've heard it before and IMO it was not a concern to me, as it did not affect performance. Many moons ago a different manufacturer I worked with said it was a characteristic of the friction material and not detrimental to the performance of the part.
Now if your clutch or trans isn't working right, that's reason for concern.
