Adjusting Pedal

[Manuel Kasko]

Hey guys,

So in regards to the slight sqeeky rattle noise that comes from my gearbox at idle.

If I adjust the pedal slightly to pull it closer the noise will go away but is this masking the problem or could it be possible that the noise is caused by my loose pedal?

Masking.

Get under the car and grease the throwout fork where it touches the pivot ball and where it touches the slave pushrod. Then grease the fork boot where it contacts the bellhousing and that should eliminate your problem

What type of grease just the spray stuff"??

[GTSBoy]

Bit of HTB, or moly.

[The Dan]

Nickel antisieze or moly/LMM grease would also be ok.

We have had some that only stopped when the boot was lubed so don't be surprised if that's the cause. Don't ask me why though

[Manuel Kasko]

First I thought it was making a high pitch sqeek at right RPM but turns out that's a blown intake gasket haha.

I will go find some of that grease any take it to a clutch place to get it done.

Dont have a clue what those parts are sorry

Thanks heaps for the info both of you

Oh quick one more thing

Are those greases spray bottles of the tub stuff?

[GTSBoy]

HTB is just the normal yellow/orange bearing grease (literally, HTB stands for High Temperature Bearing). Available in tubs or grease gun tubes, etc.

Moly grease is Molybdenum Disulphide grease. That's the black shit often used for suspension bushes and so on. Also available in tubs and tubes.

Spray grease is usually pale yellow/white lithium based grease. Not really useful for much (serious mechanical lubrication) except for door hinges and the like.

Okay thanks

I used the spray stuff in there last week and it made no difference so I'll go get the tub stuff

[turboedsloth]

Get a tub of it, and with a long screwdriver dab it in there.

I've had a box come in with a squeak where the kid used the spray stuff and covered the pressure plate in the shit so just be careful

Got the same issue. Was told it was the pivot bearing. What part is the usual suspect?
