Squeaky Clutch

[Chaosbunny]

(sorry i keep making threads but i love getting opinions from you guys)

My clutch squeaks as i release it very loudly, i am able to shift smoothly but it is squeaky as hell ... usually if i put it in neutral and pump the clutch a bit it goes away but its a consistant probem .. i was wondering if this happens to anyone else / what i may be able to do to resolve the problem

thanks

actaully I have started to notice this too... never thought to ask about it. I'm interested in what this is as well.

theres a brushing at the top of your clutch petal... after a while itll start to mess up sometiems... theres an aftermarket one you can buy (dont remember which kind) but it will fix your problem...

Isnt it called like the "throw out bearing"?

If the squeak is coming from inside the car then it's your clutch pedal. Common problem

I also got this from another site... "The bushings which are part of the clutch pedal mounting are probably worn. Problem is worse on hot days. http://www.uucmotorwerks.com sells a set of bushings (2) for $20. The have a DIY guide as well."

It's part #4 in the link below:

If the noise is coming from under the car then it may be the throw-out bearing or the pilot bushing.

Mine does this too, understeer sells them for like $20...just been too lazy to actually replace it

UUC - Clutch Arm Bushings - $20
