Mine use to squeek I used silicon spray on the clutch leaver, i think it is called some thing like that, anyway under the car remove the rubber plug in the gear box the get someone to push the clutch in and out the find the squeek spray the noisie joints. try not to get any on the clutch plate as it will slip and might burn out. the squeek might not go away straight away but give it 24 hours to work its way in.

I hope that makes some sence!

:(:D :D :D

What is that component that people refer to when you change your cluth that gets rid of the squeaking noise??

Is it the Thrust bearing (locating in the gearbox). Or something similar.

Thats what makes it squeak right?

I will be upgrading my stock clutch (that squeaks like a bitch every morning) soon and want to make sure the mechanic attends to it at the same time..

Any advice would be great.

Regards

Rob

My standard clutch squeaks as well. I'm getting a brand new Daikan heavy duty installed today so I'll let you know if it still squeaks. I doubt it will though. I'll also ask the mechanic what causes it.

Hey 2fardwown,

Yeah that would be good... (I think it just needs lubrication, but you can't get to it very easily from the outside.. the best time to do it is when you install a new clutch).

Keep us informed..

Mine creaks too! Isn't that funny, I 've got an aftermarket clutch... 2500pounds ceramic multibutton. awesome clutch. it creaks tho' when the pedal is depressed.

I have also noticed tyhat when my car is on idle i can hear this squeaky noise. I place my foot on the pedal just a bit, say depress it about 20mm and the squeakin stops. hmmm...

Any Ideas????

Squiggle San,

The creaky noise is just the levering mechanism. nothing to worry about. The whirring sound when your foot is off the pedal is the thrust bearing - nothing to worry about there either. The bearing will outlast your clutch & when it's replaced, it's routine to replace the thrust bearing. My BigDatto does the same. Don't sweat it.

Sayonara.

So what exactly is it that makes it squeak???

It does it every morning for me and does not go away until 30 minutes of driving.

Really annoying.

I just want to make sure I fix it, the same time I get a new clutch.

Mr Datto, dank you vely march!

I only had my clutch replaced not that long ago. I have alos noticed that if i don't have enuf revs the thing bounces. is this due to the heavier plate.

it happens all the time when i'm going up my drive. don't want to rev it too much or it will lite up.

The fork pivot ball can sometimes snap away from the lower threaded section, pressure from the fork ensures that the two pieces will never separate and the squeaking comes from the two halves on some occasions.

I was told this by the owner of a performance workshop and when I questioned the validity of the information, he opened the drawer of his desk to reveal 5 new threaded pivots waiting for cars with this complaint.

Apparantly the part costs stuff all and is the same for both 31's and 32's.

33's I'm not sure on but I think he told me they were all the same aswell.

well, my little Nissan Pulsar hatch ('90) has a squeaky clutch too! I've just started watching Initial D, so for a bout a week i was going a bit crazy with the down shifting, using the clutch a HEAP more than normal, usually if i'm just coming up to a red light or something, i just thro it in neutral. But i started down gearing everything, see how quick i could do it (no where near as quick as some of the Best Motoring vids i've seen tho) :)

anyways, started squeaky after this liberal use... So it's not something that i can attack with a can of WD40 and crawl under my steering wheel to get to the pedals? I need to take something apart??

cheers.

      Definitely didn't put a N/A cluster in instead? The speed sensor (location) is different in both cars.... I think. This will obviously stuff things up.

      Nah not the throwout bearing, it's something internal. I already replaced the throwout bearing. Mechanic misdiagnosed my car and thought it was a spigot bearing, went to another bloke who said it was an input shaft bearing. (I replaced everything when I pulled out the gearbox but didn't open up the gearbox.   In this video at timestamp 6:05 : Mine has the same sound  min

      It is definitely to space it out and away for clearance during compression, and possibly for spring clearance to upper arm. That latter would only be true for springs that are same-ish diameter to stockers, and so that probably doesn't apply to Teins or most other coilovers.

      Fourth gear grind

      By silviaz · Posted

      Yeah, a mechanic who knows these cars told me even if I get a brand new gearbox the noise will return but will be less noticeable. I've heard someone also they this noise came back after 3,000km on a new or reconditioned gearbox. It is pretty f**king annoying though just hearing groaning most of the time lol. I wonder if an aftermarket input shaft bearing would fix the problem or how they are built.

      All RB gearbags, especially the big turbo box, have rollover noise. Mine certainly does. Always has. Sometimes is worse than others - no particular idea why, although it is probably temperature related. I have smurf jizz in mine and have had to have it in there from the first day the box went into teh car. It simply would not select gears with the engine on, on day one, with normal oil in there. And so, the blue stuff has probably ruined almost everything synchro related in the box. But it has taken 12 or 13 years to get to the point where I simply must replace the box. It has become increasingly baulky of late, which might be symptomatic of the way I've been driving it, as much as anything. I shall have to make some corrections when teh new box goes in. Input shaft bearing noise will decrease with clutch pedal pressed because the drive is removed. But yes, more often than not noises that work like that are associated with the throwout. It won't matter either way, new box will mean this one can be relegated to the parts pile.
