scottyd Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 My clutch pedal has developed a squeak, it's fairly quiet inside but very loud outside the car and pretty damn embarassing. After searching this seems like a common problem but I can't really find any cures Spraying wd40 all over and behind the pedal mechanism did cure it for all of one day Are there any moving parts under the car that are easily accessible I can lubricate? Any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Surly silicon grease would be better than WD40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Surly silicon grease would be better than WD40 +1 I had the same squeak, tried WD40 and only worked for a day or 2, got a spray can of white silicon grease and it's been silent ever since. Took about 3/4 applications once a week, basically position yourself so your head is looking up under the pedals (not easy especially when you are 6'4") and if you move the clutch pedal by hand you will see the offending spring, mine squeaked at about half way, just spay a decent amount of the grease on and manipulate it a bit As I said after about 3/4 goes it has been silent since, for about a year near enough....

trackpig Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 It could be the slave cylinder rod. Grease can be applied to it from underneath the car. Mine was squeaking and greasing cured it. The clutch is hydraulic rather than cable operated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
