When I depress my clutch pedal I get this old squeaky mattress sound. I don't hear it very much when I am driving but I am not sure that it gets any quieter it is probably just masked by other noises.

What areas can possibly be causing this sound?

It is not the pedal itself as the noise is very faint with the windows up.

Thanks for any help, I am going to try in get the car in the air in the next couple of days and have someone work the clutch, I would just like to have a couple ideas before I get started.

*edit* BTW I have an ACT stage 1 clutch.

 

I certainly don't know much about car's in general. But a squeaky mattress is from the old spring's. I'm sure clutch's use spring's to bring back the pedal when u depress the clutch. Find it and probably just oiling it would do the trick or replace it.

 

mine does that but its my seat that sqweaks lol..

 

The sound is not from the interior.

Mr. Willis I was thinking of a return spring for the pedal (on the other side of the firewall) but I suppose we will see in the next few days.

 

I have this same exact problem- vut mine sounds like the noise is comming from rubber boot on the transmission where the slave cylinder pushes at...

 

ya its the pivot that the throwout fork pivots on when you hit the clutch. its just a metal ball on the other side of the bellhousing, and its running dry of grease, AFAIK, the only way to fix it is it remove the transmission and regrease it, mine does the same thing, and so did my 91 maxima...

 

if i recall, almost all of my clutch's on other cars made this noise and the cause is a rubber bushing at the release boot that gets worn. best way to fix is to get in there and lube it up.

 

Wow this thread is just in time, i'm about to replace my clutch and all the parts that go with it so i'll be looking for that bushing. Btw is it just regular grease or something special?

 

I just have a squeaky clutch pedal. heh

I gotta hit it with some WD-40 or somethin.

 

I got the same problem, nothing a little lube cant fix

 

its right under the throw out fork, its just a little ball that it snaps over. pull the fork off of it and put some high temp grease on it, make sure you get enough on, but not dripping off, you dont want that grease ending up on the clutch...

 

That's the hope but if it is INSIDE the bellhousing it's going to squeak on.

 

I've got the same problem.

 

I did what was mentioned above, used some High Heat grease. I Did the best I could w/ the High Temp and then sprayed a little WD-40 in their. Sound is gone!!!

 

If it is only with the clutch down all the way then it could be the input shaft bearing.

 

I had a similar like sqeek, but it was the spring by the firewall that was creating the noise, some greese and the noise was gone. If the noise is comming from the exterior of the car . . . some work will be needed to be done.

 

I really think it is the firewall, can you PM me a pic or anything helpful of what you lubricated Marlon?

 

I'll run out and take a pic now.

 

When I spayed my greese (lithum greese) I kinda sprayed the general area but I'm sure when it hit that spring, that cured the noise.



Had to take that pic upside down under my steering wheel . . . man there isnt much space to snap a pic!

 

I looked in the FSM and that was the peice I was thinking, thanks for the pic.

 

no prob........
