snappy_ Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Its annoying, I've tried spraying wd40 under the dash where the clutch thing goes in but it still squeaks, its squeaks from inside and outside. Sounds like a POS when i'm driving.

2LV8ETR Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 There are a few places where the clutch can be squeaky. 1: Pedal box pivot joint (common) 2: Clutch master cylinder thrust rod - a: at pedal connection (common). b: at ball and socket. 3: Slave cylinder thrust rod - a: at fork pivot point. b: at ball and socket. 4: Clutch throw out fork pivot. 5: Throw out bearing carrier. Instead of using CRC/WD40, use a light film of grease instead.

madbung Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) This will sound odd, use olive oil to lube...Use some cotton wool or tissue ect soak in olive oil then sponge it on while moving the pedal. The reason behind this is it will leave a nice thick film of lube on the parts and wont stink out your car like wd-40 ect. I use olive oil on hinges in houses ect for the same reasons and it works better than anything else for low speed/load lube apps. It's long lasting and should be ideal to do your pedal box. It's a very old trick, I know it sounds odd but the proof is in the results.

Pal Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 mine squeaks in the fork pivot point all the time. every 6 months i pull the boot off and get in there with some grease on the end of a screwdriver.

snappy_ Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 It seems its much more louder outside, the wd40 helped a little to soften the sound but the squeaks are still there. I might try this olive oil idea. will let you know how it goes.

The grease actually f#*ked up the master cylinder because it ate away the rubber seal Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/273667-how-to-get-rid-of-the-squeaky-clutch-noise-when-clutching-in/#findComment-4661308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarumatix Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 I had exactly what you described. Bought a new pedal box fixed it completely. The old one had been welded up in an attempt to fix the bending that often occurs on the stock unit. You can even buy a Nismo one which is much stronger.
