sqeak comming from clutch pedal "how to fix" good info...
so i come back from work and get into my car and my clutch is sqeaking...its a hatch with a JDM d15b...so i do a search and i find this:
I started to get a squeaky clutch on my car recently and I remember seeing complaints the same thing in past months. My squeak really sounded like it was coming from the clutch pedal area under the dash of the car, but when I got my wife to push in the clutch with my ears in the engine bay it was definitely coming from the clutch fork/slave cylinder area. Some of the noise was just transferring to the clutch pedal making it tricky to diagnose. So here is what I did. I ended up pulling off the square shaped boot that goes over the clutch fork that mounts into the block -square shaped hole. I slid it as far to the right as possible so it was over the clutch slave cylinder as much as possible. Doing that exposes the clutch slave cylinder rubber boot. The clutch slave cylinder boot is one of those thin kinked style boots (similar looking to the one that is used on the throttle cable). I pulled the slave cylinder boot as far to the right as possible exposing the metal slave cylinder rod within. I put a good dose of high quality brake lube grease on the metal rod and slid the boot back over to the left in tight position up against the end of the rod where it meets the clutch fork. Then I put the square rubber cover back over the clutch fork and pushed it tightly into the block opening at all edges. Upon completion I had my wife press the clutch again, on the second push of the clutch the noise went away instantly, and it has not returned since. So it looks like a fix for that type of noise, if it is happening to you I would give it a shot, takes about 5 mins to complete. As I now think about the way the slave cylinder works, it might be best to apply the grease with the clutch pedal depressed, having someone push the clutch in and hold it while you lube the slave cylinder rod. I didn't do it that way but thinking back that may be a better method, and that may be why it took two pedal applications for the noise to disappear, as the grease had to work its way further into the cylinder. I may try it that way next time, but for now it seems to have worked the way that I did it. hth.
I'll be doing this this sunday, thank you JSIR...
