Squeaking Noise from Clutch???

[rmahawaii]

Hello Skyliners, recently I noticed there is tiny squeaking noise when I push in the clutch. Is this normal or is it a sign of time to replace the clutch? Thanks in advance.:burnout:

mine does that too, i think its just the pedal coz i got a heavy duty a month ago and it still does it

[siksII]

Mine does it..after long trips it does it even louder...very clearly audible. But the clutch feels fine.

I think it sounds like a hinge or a rubber seal sumwhere which needs to be lubed up

Wouldnt worry about it....

pretty sure it's a part within the clutch that can be adjusted by a clutch place etc cant remember the name for it though!!

if i think of it i'll post back!

I am think about WD-40, but don't know where to spray into.

[Craved]

i wouldn't do that!!!

think it is under the bell housing cover, where the clutch engages and disengages, there is a sline there that needs lube i believe!!

if you have doubt email www.uniqueautosports.com they fixed it on my car!!

mine also makes the sqeaking sound, sounds like it is coming from the pedal itself, I have WD40'd it once, tiny spray. it stopped it for a while and now it is back again. it is from inside the car itself. doesn't sound like outside to me.

i lubricated the pivot point above the clutch pedal in mine and it has stopped the squeaking so far...

lubbed with what ?

Has anyone heard of a car making a tapping noise after changing spark plugs??

[DJ_L3ThAL]

lol that means its pinging, verfy bad, gap your spark plugs properly!!!

[rmahawaii]

I can hear the squeaking from inside and outside. When I opened the hood, tt sounded more like from the engine compartment therefore i predict it's around the clutch engagement parts.

im pretty sure taylor is right, pivot point sounds right!

its the slave cylinder inside the box, i had mine replaced, if ur thinking of replacing it wait until u have to get ur clutch done aswell, save u alot of money, when mine was on its way it started to make a funny noises, not all the time, it use to whine alot, ps wd-40 is loosen bolts and to lubricate moving parts to an extent, its not the best lubricant, it dries up to quick and the squeaks will come back, u can by better sprays for lubricating, dont use wd for lubricating moving parts

[sumswa]

what would you recommend as a lubricant for moving parts?

my clutch does exactly the same as rmahawaii....

now all i need to do is find the right lubricant and then the pivot point.....

[wrxhoon]

silverskyline the slave cil is not inside the g/box , its on the outside on the bellhousing .whatever u do never spray any lube on the cluch or pressure plate cause that will make it slip.

u can lubricate the pedal and fork and the thrust bearing if u could get to it but as it is inside the bellhousing u have to remove the g/box to do it and if u do that u may as well put a new clutch , pressure plate thrust and spiggott bush and while u r at it machine the flywheel too .

that sounds like a lot of trouble to get rid of a little squealing noise.....theres nothing really wrong with the operation of the clutch except that noise.....

i think ill just put up with it until it starts driving me crazy for now.....

if you leave it for too long it will eventually where the sleeve out and cause bigger problems thats what happened to my old car. Also if u have a heavy duty clutch and have been riding it, it will squeak. But you all sound like you know its comming from the pedal.
