Squeeky Clutch

[mad032]

ever since last winter my clutch has been squeeking but on and off not all the time. i got under the box and had someone press the pedal and it is coming from just inside the slave cylinder. is there anything in there i can lube up?

is it easy to pull appart? i have been told berfore that i might have to wait till the box comes out to fix it. i dont know if i can wait that long it is co farking anoying i feel like a dickhead at the lights

Cheers Ryan

My clutch squeaked a lot. My sounds were coming from inside the actual clutch housing. When a mechanic pulled aside the rubber boot which keeps it shut, sprayed some WD40 in and then we pumped the clutch - no more sounds. They said "the bearings have dried out" or something to that effect, and they said they could go in and lube it up etc, but they said they don't bother and usually just replace the whole clutch at the time (for a 10yo car).

Mine does it too.. so do many other R33's. Some people have had success with putting grease up inside where the slave cylinder line goes into, into the rubber housing.. (Ironically enough a person with the username "Mad082" posted a DUI for this lol). I tried this but it still squeeks. It's usually the throw out bearing apparently. I'll be replacing my clutch with an exedy HD in about a month or so, will just get it sorted then.

quite often it's the clutch fork squeking on the pivot ball and not the thrust bearing

Mine does the same, its the clutch fork. Have to find a way to grease it up, but its hard to reach I believe.
