squealing/groaning noise from clutch pedal inside car???& GOD D A M CHATTER!! & more

1. ok guys i have 153,00 miles on my maxima 5 speed. everytime i press on the clutch pedal or release it makes a squealing/groaning noise from the pedal i sprayed some lube (silice/red gease)on the spring & the lil rod that goes into the fire wall.( doesn't have 2 be in gear does it with the car on or off, release or presssued makes noise) but no luck. any ideas?????

2. i have a ACT street clutch. with 20,000 on the clutch. i still get the really bad chatter.(getting tired of it). BTW how long do these clutch last anyways????????

3. i have another problem
it sounds like i have lil birds chirping in my trans when its chattering (launch normaly) any idea whats this means???? still grabs nice tho chirps 3rd every time .

thanx hopfully some can help me.

jeff

ps: still have a factory flywheel. did get it resurfaced buy napa. (when install the clutch) i got the ACT clutch kit. the only thing i didn't replace was the pilot bearing.......

I had a similar "noise". I replaced the clutch master and slave cylinders.

get underneath by your pedal and move it up and down with your hand and see where the noise is comeing from...seems like the rod going into the master cylinder is not greased up enough..take some lithium grease and do that rod up...if its still there spray some WD up in there where you hear it...I used to have it, 15 min later not one peep at all

as for the chatter...Me too...thats the price for performance

Check your motor mounts everyone for clutch chatter.
