Clutch squeaks like a door hinge when I first start using it; could I stop it with WD-40, if so, where?

Thanks

no you cant spray it with wd 40. unless its just your pedal squeaking. but if its the clutch itself means the pressure plates weakening(probably).

sounds to me like a throw out bearing.
has the clutch been replaced recently??

The clutch fork where it contacts the slave cylinder may need some grease.

wd-40 is not a lube

It's either at the point RonJ pointed out, or inside where that arm pivots on the tranny case. If you can't find "urea grease", just use "moly" (molybdenum disulfide, ARP lube). WD-40 is kerosene-based and evaporates over time. I only use WD-40 if I'm at a friend's house who has nothing else, and it's not mission-critical...

When my Ranger clutch started squeaking, it was the throwout bearing. Left me stranded in an intersection when it failed a couple of days after I tried the WD-40 on the pedal assemblies.

The Ranger was RWD with the T/O Bearing fairly close to the pedal so it was hard to tell where the squeak was coming from. Open your hood and have someone pump the pedal to see if it sounds like it's coming from the trans/engine/clutch area as opposed to the pedal. Or take it to a trans shop for an estimate.
