......well if it rained last night, and your feet are still wet, it's more than likely your foot squeaking on the clutch pedal

Sohc Driver

very funny..i think not...seriously...anyone?

Jonathan_ED3

I didn't intend it to be funny. That is a VERY logical possibility...especially since you said it rained the previous night.
Other things it *might* be:

Something in the clutch pedal assembly itself. Mine has been doing this for months now. Nothing wrong with the 'clutch'...but in the actual pedal assembly inside the car. It's quite annoying sometimes.

Throw-out bearing could be going bad. Is it a sqeak sound or more of a scratchy sound?

Where exactly is the squeak coming from?

If everything is still grabbing okay, no clutch chattering, you're good on clutch fluid etc....it's probably nothing to worry about. Things squeak sometimes...it can certainly be expected in moving assemblies.

to be honest...its just a squeak...........its coming form outside of the car.......and everything grabs fine..driving feels the same...

me too so wtf is it?

its the thing that allows you to start your car when the clutch is depressed, I believe. Sorry I dont know what its called my mind just went totally blank. Mine's been that way for awhile. Sometimes I couldnt even turn ignition with the clutch depressed I would have to roll the car a foot or so in nuetral to get that part to engage.

Hope that helps somehow.

it never did it before..why now?? did somethign break or go out?

its most likely your slave cyclinder, i think those go out after a while, its right by your transmission fork. Just learn to live with it or try using lubricating grease.

BTW - try a search for it, lots of topics on it.

mine does the same thing, I already had it checked out and its the master cylinder like th other guy said.

Sohc Driver

so is it bad if i leave it like that..im getting a swap in december...thats still a lil ways to go.....my car's not going to break down on the side of the road or anythign will it?

Jonathan_ED3

It CAN.

my '92 Si's slave cylinder just busted one night on during a 2-3 shift (wasn't even racing)...Couldn't even get it into gear. Had to replace it.

If you can narrow it down to the slave cylinder, I would personally just go ahead and replace it...it's not too expensive or anything.

Sohc Driver

umm...it doesn't do it anymore...im pretty happy...but any ideas to why?
