when i engage and realease the clutch pedal i get a squiky noise kinda like a old house door does when it needs wd40.it does it when just sitting and while driving ..just curious if any one has this issue?its really loud..i looked at the cable lines and everything is tight ..do we have a hydro thingy on the tranny all i see is the 2 cables form the firewall going to the tranny but no hydro thing to push the arm ..i did notice im slightly low on fluid did a brake job and forgot to refill but its over the min level but not at max?any idea of what i should check.?im going to see if i can get someone to help me press the pedal so i can narrow down the noise but i do know its only doing it when i use the clutch pedal..anyhelp

same problem with the clutch and brake. Also it sometimes sounds like loose change (cant find anything loose though)

If anyone knows what to look for "you're awesome"

so i jumped in the box to have someone help me and nothing ...so im going to have to wait when it does it then have someone help me...this hapens alot so soon i will get to the bottom of this..

first try using a little spray lube on the pedal pivot points, if it only does it when your moving the pedal with or without the motor running.

if it does it when the motor is running, look into getting the throw-out bearing replaced.

if it is making a rattling noise with the motor running sounds like a clutch job cause there is not too much clutch plate left and the bearing isn't holding together.

i know its not the pedal because when i roll the window down you can really hear from the engine bay compartment ..so i know its somewere on the tranny side..have not tryed with the motor not runnin so i will do that when i hear it again...but it did do it at a light in nuetral and as i took off ..it makes the sound when i press it in and let off to go ..

Sounds like a complete clutch job in the real near future :(

ehh.. i might know what it is.. probably the clutch fork assembly thingamabob.. just needs some grease on it.

and zomg. it's frogbox!

u need to lube where the slave cylinder moves the clutch fork, mine was doing the same thing. the slave is mounted on the side of the trans with a line run to it, u can't miss it!

I definitely have to check this out because my clutch is BRAND NEW and ive had the same problem for months and its driving me CRAZY!!! Ill check out the fork thing and see what happens.

Do you suggest WD-40 or grease?

wd 40 for short term,high temp grease or lithium forlong term

and yeah Squalheart I stop by every now and again to see that nothing ever changes 'cept the name of the people

well so far i have not had the sound so weird ...but when it does happen i will share results ..ive got almost 58,000 so not sure how long a clutch really last as everytime i got a new(used) car i did the clucths in them and drove them till i sold them ..so i never really had a car were i kept long to do any of this..

The clutch should last for a very long time if you don't abuse it. No reason for it not to with such little horsepower and a fairly light car.

thats what i was thinking and sometimes i go for spirited drives but dont peel out or anything like that ...

ehh.. i might know what it is.. probably the clutch fork assembly thingamabob.. just needs some grease on it.Bingo! This was my guess too... :clap:

Any news ?

had the sound then went away by the time i got home...oohh well soon to be selling the car so ill just drive it and if something goes wrong then fix it.. :P

it just needs some lubing is all it's nothing big... mine's starting to do it a bit but it's just on the pedal hinge.

so i found the noise on my box ..it was coming from the rubber cover(boot) on the clutch release cylinder #31476 in the pic.when i hold the boot nothing let it go,noise returns..i will put some grease this week see if it helps in the long term ...

It sounds like the pilot bearing,mine was doing the samething and the dealership changed the bearing and clutch. I took it home and started doing the samething again. I took it back and they ended up replacing the transmission. You may still be under warranty .

and how worthless does that show the dealership you're going to :lalala:

if it was the pilot bearing... holy crap the noise would be unbearable and EVERYONE around you would hear it. the squeak is from your clutch pedal it's self, the hinge point where it flexes OR somewhere that goes through a flexing motion only when you shift and it's got to be inside the cabin.

replaced pilot bearing and transmission... wow...

and they wont even replace my trans for the crap syncros in it. it's GRINDING on first second and sometimes third and they will replace it from a simple noise coming from a joint that needs greasing...

i'm happy for you but MAN am i irritated about it at the same time... :tap:

grease it

This was not a joint that needed greased , the noise was during driving time and/or idle, when i pushed in on the clutch just alittle the noise stopped, so,what causes that?

your clutch pedal runs on a small lever system. right where the pedal connects to the firewall, there is a joint there and over time it will slowly dry up and start squeaking every time you press down on the clutch and every time you let go of the clutch. it's just a wear noise... just like the rear seats. the back supports, there they latch to the two metal latch points on the sides. there is a plastic covering there that once it wears to the metal, a god offal squeak noise will come up and it will be like driving an older 80's style blazer where the rear window hinges would start squeaking a week after you bought it brand new...

park it, take a can of WD40, get under the dash area there and spray a bit into the joint. move the pedal in and out for a bit to work the oil in there. i bet ya that will fix it... cause it fixes mine... and mine constantly gets squeaky with what i do.

i will gladly post pics on monday when i get my xB back from the body shop.
