Squeaky Clutch

[Bobjones]

People,

Need some help as this noise is driving me insane...

I have a standard clutch done a little bit now...

The problem is that the pressing the pedal previously would reveal a squak only intermittently.

Now it has progressed to quiet a number of times on an outing, both pressing and realeasing the pedal...

I used some silicone lubcricant (ska don't get any funny ideas) on the lever on the side of the gearbox. This stuff is what I used on my motorbike chain and is a VERY good lubricant, yet the problem still persists.

Any help would be appreaciated!!!

Thanks

Neill

sorry cant help but bump.

i'm having the exact same problem, only started a few months ago, pretty annoying. SQUEEK!!!

[Mr GTS4]

could be your throwout bearing?? just an idea

[DentonR33]

i had/have this problem also.. i tried wd40 or similar under the pedal where the cable is and no change. then i accidentaly oversprayed the spring behind the pedal up the top and the squeak stopped straight away!! came back a few weeks ago but i drenched it in wd40 again and i havent heard a mouse since!

see how you go..

my squeak is soo loud u can hear it from outside easily......sounds external so dunno if its just that springy thing inside thats causing it but ill give it a go and spray taht and see what happens

[Jimbo2000]

yah mine too sometimes, full embarrasing, driving somewhere theres heaps of pedestrians coming to a sop at the lights and putting it in to go into 1st SQUEEK

makes it look dodgy

[ferni]

Yeah Dents was the same, we were sure it was coming from the outside AND inside.. but going sick with the WD40 seemed to help - can't hurt

i know what this is, i had the same problem, its the slave cylinder.

look under the car at the cylinder while a friend pushes the clutch, and as the piston moves in and out it will make the squeek noise...

if you want it to go away, replace the cylinder.. although it problably wont amount to much if left unfixed.

[Bobjones]

Slave cylinder hey, I will have to check that again cause it has been recently replaced...

Its driving me nuts I will investigate more on Sat when I can get it up on a hoist...and I tried drowning it in WD40 to no avail, also where is this spring...

And definitely the outside of the car, had the girl push the clutch when I had it on ramps...

[siksII]

then it is the cylinder, no wd40 can fix that !

i am not 100% sure but i think its caused by crap getting between the piston(plastic) and the cylinder that causes the nosie.

Mine is the same.

I have tried a few things with no luck. Maybe cause my clutch takes two feet to press in it's so damn heavy !! Maybe it's just the metal throwout fork bending

[siksII]

mine was heavy like that too

exercise for the leg muscles.

hey guys,

My clutch had the squeek 6 mths after fitting, took it back and they got under the car, removed the rubber boot and sprayed some type of lube on the clutch lever pivot point, all sweet now and the clutch actually feels a bit easyer to press in..

cheers
