    Squeaky Clutch?

    Everytime I engage my clutch you can hear a squeak and feel it vibrate through my pedal. I went underneath my clutch and sprayed large amounts of silicon spray up there, but I can still hear that damn noise, and its annoying. Am i doing something wrong? I'd appreciate any help. (Sorry if I posted this underneath car care, I couldnt decide where else to post it at.)

    I think read somewhere on here the squeaky clutch issue might be due to a defect in the clutch master cylinder... if I find the thread.. I'll post it.

    I heard that it was a throw out bearing or something like that.
    Mine is sqeaking 95% of the time. I think it's because I double clutch too much and wore it out.

    Mine started squeaking when I adjusted the pedal height. I'm going to glob it with some grease in hopes of getting the mouse to go away. I'll keep you posted.

    Lube probably won't help. You need to adjust your clutch pedal pushrod; there was a DIY from GearheadGeek before the meltdown, but it's pretty straightforward The text from the original post is here. I think it's also described in the service manual.

    I did this and it got rid of my squeaking, no oil/graphite/etc. required.

    If you're still under warranty take it to the stealership, and they should replace your master cylinder.

    There was a service bulletin about this problem . I can't find the link to it though sorry. I had mine fixed for free at a dealer when the car was still under warranty about a year and half ago but I just recently started hearing it again

    Your clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder are fine more than likely. If there's a notch or clicking noise, very distinctive, then you may have issues with those, but if it's only the squeek, than Lithium Grease will take car of the issue. It just a lack of proper lubrication.

    i read the link thouroughly and i cannot see why adjusting the pedal pushrod would remove squeaking noises....

    anyone explain?
    perhaps if someone explained why the clutch pedals squeaks and how adjusting the push rod directly affects squeaking it would help.
