Suspense Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Hey i have just notice my clutch makes a squeking noise. Is this a sign the clutch is on its way out, or somethings else?

igor Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Is the sqeek on the inside or on the outside? If its the inside than its the pedal. Get in the there with a can of WD-40 and go crazy, eventually you ll get it and it will stop squeeking. If it's on the outside than it's the clutch fork (the arm that gets puched in by the slave cylinder). It pivots inside the clutch assembly and that's where it squeeks. To get to it you need to take the rubber boot from around the slave cylinder piston to get inside the clutch. As for lubricating it - I don't know how. I have the same problem and I couldn't get underneath enough to see what's inside. The way I understand it is that you can't just pile up the grease inside because you can get it on the clutch. To answer your question - no, it's not the sign of the clutch wearing out.

JH32 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 mine started squeaking .... then it clicks .... then it breaks could be a sign that the pedal box is about to snap if you have a heavy duty clutch fitted Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66463-squeky-clutch/#findComment-1249164 Share on other sites More sharing options...

siksII Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 can be the master or slave cylinder as it pushes in and out.. usually the master cylinder... you can rebuild it i think the kit costs about $30 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66463-squeky-clutch/#findComment-1250390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eug Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 could be a seal, rear main seal, gearbox seal, or possibly release bearing. sometimes the seals get hardish - specially with oldish cars like ours that havent been drivin as much as they normally would be. mine were hard and felt like it was about to crumble... not soft rubber Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66463-squeky-clutch/#findComment-1250785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZM.031 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 is it squeaking with your foot on or off the clutch?? is it in the pedal, or in the clutch?? if it does it at idle but goes away with the clutch in, it could be a misalignment in the clutch plate, one of the springs in the cover plate could be worn or bent, it could be nearing the rivets. if its a pedal noise, could be any of the things already said. go crazy with wd40. if it changes for moment, thats where the noise is. cheers Linton Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66463-squeky-clutch/#findComment-1250988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxforce Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 it could be your thrust bearing more likely, does it stop squeakin when you press the pedal down Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66463-squeky-clutch/#findComment-1258958 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAPCAB Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 squeaky pedal? sounds like your clutch master cylinder. Cheap to repair, it will need a rebuild (seals, perhaps the shaft with a stainless steel sleeve), about $90. good idea to fix slave at the same time too. This happened on mine, eventually turned into a click, then bang no clutch. You may also notice that you put the clutch fully down and you recieve a small notch of the gearbox when putting into gear/into another gear - this is because the clutch is not dissengaging properly because of the fault in the clutch hydraulic system (the master/slave cylinders) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66463-squeky-clutch/#findComment-1261221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raikkonen Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 hmm this is happening to me to, i noticed it just then when i was driving with my head unit out... when i press the clutch in it sqeaks for and when i release it it squeaks, i thought it was coming from the pedal, but i hung my head out the window (i was stationary) and its coming from underneith the car. Just bought the car about 10 days ago yet another thing i gotta fix at least it looks like its not to pricy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66463-squeky-clutch/#findComment-1275142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Linx Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 i get a similar thing but only when i release the clutch and only when i don't get the revs right could this be because i have an extreme clutch button type Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66463-squeky-clutch/#findComment-1276646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redliner Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 mine r33 has a heavy duty clutch and has squeaked for 12 months . i simply thought it was a plain old squeak, but maybe it is not. however nothing has gone wrong yet. lets hope it doesn't.

Zahos Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 I have been told: - When it squeeks as the pedal is in motion, the thrust bearing needs to be lubed - when it squeeks when the clutch is out (engine running), but stops when you put your foot on the pedal, it's the spigot bush. Mine was doing both. My clutch died prematurely (not related to squeek), got it changed, now it's all good.

quink Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 mine started squeaking .... then it clicks .... then it breaks could be a sign that the pedal box is about to snap if you have a heavy duty clutch fitted crap.. mine's done the exact same thing.. does that mean i have to fully replace the master or slave cylinder or can i just rebuild it?

ix9 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Mine has been squeaky for about 8 months now. A few weeks ago it started clicking a bit Then the click went away Then it got hard to change gears Then it snapped/banged and broke. Pedal Box. This is after I fitted a 2500lbs pressure plate and 9puck ceramic clutch. It seems pretty common eh?

Grant Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I had the dreaded click, but that seems to have disappeared now. I guess that means my pedal box is almost dead? What's involved with fixing/replacing it? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/66463-squeky-clutch/#findComment-1357998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
