creeking clutch

[rsfeller]

while depressing or releasing the clutch (5 speed with 68K) it's really starting to creek at the pivot of the clutch.

does it just need grease, a worn bushing or is there something out of tolerance?

if it just needs grease...just a low temp lithum do the job?

Believe it or not, owing to the fact that I couldn't contort myself to get a visual in a cluttered garage, I blindly sprayed some WD 40 in the general vicinity of the pivot- voila`, noise gone- good as old.

Go ahead, close your eyes and take a shot!

Good luck.

Hey I'm all about the blind squirrel finding a nut from time to time!

Will give it shot. If i could fit under there to do the ignition switch I'm sure I can find the pivot point!

Any the noise has been gone for how long?

When the clutch began squeaking on my 2003, the dealer said it was because the clutch had worn down and the release bearing was now traveling on a different portion of the input shaft...

Really! I think we are on apples and organges. I'll clarify as I don't think that applies in my case...you have a differnt kind of squeek for sure. Mine is from the clutch pedal not the acutal internal clutch.

The noise has been gone for a week. Oddly enough, our cars have about the same mileage, so I suspect it's the same problem- hopefully as simple for you as it was for me.

Good luck :thumbup:

I'll follow up if the noise returns and see if we are "in sync"...
