like the title says i hear/feel my clutch pedal squeaking or rubbing or grinding i dont know what it is. the best way to describe the sounds is if you take two pieces of hard plastic/rubber with rough surfaces and rub them together (i know but that is the best i can come up with). Its not impeding my shifting ability or anything and the clutch goes in smooth (as far as I can tell) its just the weird noise thing .

I might be over paranoid because i just lost my car that was mechanically sound. is this something i can throw a little WD-40 on and call it a day or is there a better solution.

Thanks in advanced.

it kinda sounds like its just a wear n tear squeek, my friends 00 5spd does the same thing before and after he got a new clutch installed.

 

are you saying my clutch may be going out?

B

 

no i think its just a squeek from the pedal. my dads old camaro did the same thing same with most of the other over 5 year old standard cars ive driven

 

oh ok....its the a fix? or am i stuck with it?

B

 

ive heard of people lubin it up so i wouldnt see why not. i cant say for a definite yes thats what it is but if the clutch seems good then its prolly a good bet thats all it is

 

cool thanks!

mine was fine all summer it just start doing i like a week ago. weather might be the issue..

 

good point...i got the car when it was a little warmer and just noticed it since its gotten colder

Many of my older cars had that. It could be the pin on the hinge or the pedal spring causing causing this sound. To solve it, simply spray lube such as WD40 directly onto the pedal spring or the pivot pin. It should go away, depending on where the squeak is coming from.

 

If the flex line or the slave cylinder is going bad, it can/will make a wierd squeaking noise. Mine did it not too long before the slave went out. I replaced the slave cylinder and replaced the flex line with a stainless-steel braided line. Fixed the squeak.

 

thanks ill keep that in mind

I've had to spray some lithium grease on my clutch pedal spring many a time. Works great, just when the squeak comes back, crawl under, cover your face and spray onto the spring.
