squeeky clutch

I have a 2000 Max GXE and I noticed the clutch is making squeeky noises. Do I just use some WD40, or is there something else I have to do?

My clutch has started to make a clicking sound once on the engage and again on the disengage. It ****es me off.

If you look at the clutch pedal in its normal position you'll see it hitting against a clutch switch. That clutch switch noramlly rests on a blue piece of plastic, which is attached to the clutch pedal. That was the culprit that was making the squeaking noise for me and it drove me nuts. Put some grease on the plastic piece and the squeak should go away. At first I thought it was the spring attached to the pedal. Good luck.

As for the clicking sound, I haven't been able to determine what's been causing that noise. I have it too but it doesn't bother me that much. It happens on and off. I suspect it's a wire loom that is under there cuz I moved it aside and the clicking was gone but now it's back. I'll check into when I have time.

I don't know if I have the same creaking/clicking noise but it started after clutch TSB was done.
I get this creaking/clicking not only when engaging in gear, but when just driving(not touching the clutch pedal at all) and hitting the gas this creaking sound will come up.

This sound is driving me nuts and I am brining the car in so they can look at it again. Hopefully they can fix it.
