Has anyone experienced any noises during the last few inches of clutch pedal travel before it hits the floor "and then vice-versa -the first couple inches on the way back out"? Its hard to describe the sound, maybe like an old hinge on a door type thing. I have tried to lubricate the spring under the dash board and that did not solve it which makes me worry since that eliminates what I would beleive to be the most simple explanation.

 

I have it occassionally, but haven't done anything about it... there was a whole thread about this a while back... see if you can find it...

Thanks for the link puppetmaster... looks as though its time to soak my carpet and plush leather seats with grease and oil. Can't wait.

 

he's talking about a clicking noise like a relay

I believe your sound is more of a squeek like a mouse or door hinge, which I have the same problem. I've wd-40'ed the assembly a few times to no avail. It only happens in cold mornings under 55F

 

Gotcha... just thought that it could be a similar issue...
