Check your Clutch Master Cylinder from inside your car. If you see any oil buildup around the rubber "grommet", your Clutch Master Cylinder is gone. If not, it's perfectly normal. All Hondas I have driven do the same thing. Usually, it's the "rod" that goes into the Clutch Master Cylinder that squeaks around the rubber "grommet". You can lube it up just a bit so it won't be soo tight and it'll slide in and out easily.

Wow, that last line sounds EXTREMELY perverted.

Heh, no problem. What would've been even funnier is if your boss was walking around, saw that you were looking at perverted lines and liking it, then you got fired. But, that's just me. Just kidding bro. Hopefully the mods don't see this as an "off the original topic" thread and lock it.

My Civic does the same thing, as does my buddy's 95 Accord. Sounds pretty normal to me

My Civic doesn't, but the RSX does. Lube works wonders

I tried searching some older threads about where to lube, but I'm new to manual trannys. I put my car up on ramps and had someone pump the clutch, I can't see anything moving or tell where exactly the squeak is coming from. Are there any diagrams available?

You are not going to see anything moving. You don't have a cable transmission. Everything past 1992 use Hydraulic Transmissions, which mean there is a hydraulic pump that actuates the shift fork and not a cable.

The Clutch Master Cylinder is mounted to the firewall in the engine bay and goes THROUGH the firewall and connects to your clutch pedal. If you look undwer your dash board, in front of your clutch pedal, you'll see a "rod" going into a rubber "grommet" right in the center. That rod is what pushes or relieves pressure in the Clutch Master Cylinder. Pop your hood, the Clutch Master Cylinder is right UNDER the clutch fluid resevoir. You'll see it. It's above, not below. Look under and to the right of the Braek Booster. There is one line going into it from above FEEDING the cylinder and another line, metal line, that goes from the cylinder to the slave cylinder in front of the transmission.

The point where the rod goes through the grommet (inside the cab) is where you want to lube. Lube the rod just a little, it should go away.
