Im fairly positive spraying the clutch pedal with wd-40 will not do much. Im sure its the clutch fork. How can I quieten down this bastard. A mechanic told me its not even worth it due to the amount of work required to reach it properly.

I used motorcycle chain lube to lubricate the clutch fork pivot ball to stop the squeaking. The chain lube is formulated to resist being flung off so its ideal for lubing up the pivot ball (to minimize the chance of lube going onto other parts of your clutch). Hasnt squeaked since.

How did you reach the clutch fork? What exactly do you need to lubricate??? I wish someone had pics =(

There is a thread in the general maintenance section on how to grease/lube the clutch fork. All you need is a can of motorcycle chain lube. The one I used came in a spray can with a straw attachment for the nozzle. Basically there is a rubber grommet on the bellhousing (which the clutch fork protrudes through) which you can pull off. Then you simply spray a small amount of lube onto the clutch fork where it contacts the pivot ball.

Correct, if you get underneath the car on the side of the gearbox you will see the slave cylinder. It pushes the clutch fork which penetrates the bellhousing and is sealed from the outside elements by a rubber boot. I have not done this myself, but what you "could" do is slide the hose up past the rubber boot and spray a bit of chain oil up there against the clutch fork. I Probably wouldnt spray too much though...

Well from my experience today, I would get under your dash and just double check your pedal box as well. Seems thats where my squeek was, as it had cracked in two places, and it was the metal moving making the noise.

So here is a pic of the clutch fork area. For people who are not mechanically minded where would you need to spray to stop the squeek? To access this area its on the passenger side near the wheel i believe right? Do you need to take off any covers to get access to this also?

    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
    • I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?
    • Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot. 
    • It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
