6spd guys step in

Ok..i got this really bad CREAKING noise from the drivers side front. Its really bad in the 1st gear take off (in a straight line..on a turn its not really there ) But, i dont think its the clutch "howl" noise TSB.. SOunds like something needs to be greased. I am going to call the dealer on tuesday and make an appointment. Its very loud and VERY annoying...

Anyone else have this problem?

Does it occur as you release the clutch even when the car is off? If so, I had this. The dealer lubed the linkages and the sound was resolved.

might help if we knew what mods you have, if any.....suspension mods (FSTB, LTB, springs, struts, RSB, etc...) incorrectly installed or not tightened enough have a tendency to make creaking noises
