Guys my clutch is starting to really bother me....i hear this sqeaky noise whenever i press down on the pedal....i think its the clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder or something....should i put some w-40 on those areas or grease or something...the problem started when i installed my 6 puck 9 months ago...

 

probably your t/o bearing

 

yea someone told me that too...i think i need to replace it since i think it broke

 

is it ok to drive around with a broken throw out bearing?

 

Check out that thread...you've got a couple things to check first.

can you guys give me a good description of where the slave cylinder is located? Is it the thing connected to the clutch bleeder that is covered by a rubber boot?

 

that IS the slave cylinder.

 

ok thanks..wanted to make sure..is it ok to lube it up with wd-40 or do i have to use a grease?

 

Well there's really nothing to grease up on the slave cylinder besides the contact point it makes with the clutch fork. Try flushing out all the fluid in the clutch line and the clutch master cylinder. Sometimes dirt or really old fluid can cause a squeaking sound when you apply pressure through it. If that doesn't do it, i'd bet my money on the t/o bearing.

 

my clutch squeeks like mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its nuts.
the clutch pedal is also hard for a stock clutch(and NONE of the springs have fallen out or anything like that) its weird!
my release bearing is also gone on it.... but everything still WORKS fine..and it still grabs . hmmmm

 

thats exactly like what i have going on right now....but i dont have a stock clutch i have a 6 puck sprung....

Im tellin ya, grease all the moving parts under the dash, and also lube up any moving parts in the slave cylinder. Peel the boot back and play with it, you'll see what I mean. Lube up as much as you can under there with lithium grease, wd40, silicone spray...whatever you can get in there.

Thats the first thing to do...your problems may be solved easily.

 

yup, greese the slave cylinder first. I had the same problem. I work at a GM dealer and we have a very experienced trans tech. He said it's my pressure plate. It was.

 

ok thanks guys i'm going to do that right now

 

i had the same problem, drove me nuts, i sprayed some lube and the sound went away a few days later, but then i had trouble with the release point on my clutch, i had to keep adjusting the release adjusting ****, found out it was my clucth cable that was stretching and had to be replaced, i dont know if those two things were related

 

I have a ACT 6 puck and xtreme PP and mine did the same thing. Now its even worse b/c my clutch engagement point is really high. My clutch master cylinder is leaking too (very little, but I see it seeping behind the clutch pedal). Is my clutch going bad, is it my slave cylinder, or is it my throwout bearing. I need help on this one b/c I cant figure out what the deal is. I just hope its nothing major....

 

A common overlooked spot is the pivot point of the clutch fork. Squeeks and chirps and yells like to come from there!

 

Can anyone help me out with my prob????

 

I have the same problem so I called the dealer about the problem, they said it could come from two places either by the pedals or by the transmission and they charge 36.00 dollars to lube everthing up including other misc. parts around the car. He also said all this is lubed up when you take your car in for the 30K maintanence and 60K and so on. I have taken in my car for the 30K maintanence and so I might try to get this service free. A lazy tech. probably worked on my car.
I'll let you know what happened.
