Squeaky Clutch?

[bearcat91]

mines goes off as im im easing the clutch out slowly never as i press it

That's what mine did...sprayed some lube up by the pedal and went away....for about a month.

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.

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.

did you use white lithium grease?
if you used a lubricant that isnt permanent such as wd40 itll evaporate and then the squeak will come back. (logically thinking)

there is also apparently another fix. to which i don't understand how it even works.?

it sounds to me like it is your clutch master cylinder ! there is a honda tsb on it I am a assistant service manager at acura and just had mine replaced under honda care but if you find the right advisor at a good dealership they may take care of it for you but they do not have to because a tsb is not a recall !

a technical service bulletin should be a free service whether or not you are in warranty, or it should at least be a discounted service once you're off warranty....in my opinion

but o well.

I don't think the op ever clarified if it sounds like from the actual clutch or the clutch pedal...this info could help. How ever the clutch pedal seems to be a popular issue.

And NEO I did use wd40 maybe that would explain it. Ill give lithium grease a shot! Thanks

i do agree with you but that isnt the case ! i have customers all the time that say there is a tsb on the old tl's transmission and they are the 6th owner and never been to a dealership before in there life with a car that has 200k on it wanting there free !!! its not going to happen !!!

had the same problem on mine before....i just oiled it up

[ep-unit]

I just sprayed oil on mine today, hope it doesn't come back

It is a design flaw in our CMC. It's not propely greased at the factory before putting it in our car. So it works for a bit then need Grease and get damaged. It doesn't matter how many times or how much grease you put on it it will come back. The only way to get it done for good is ordering a new CMC from an EX civic #46920-S5A-G04 and apply more grease on it before installing.

talonXracer made a whole thread about this. Adjusting the pushrod just make the rod go more "straight" into the cylinder so less friction but it's not the best thing for your clutch.
