Default Squeaky clutch - Honda Civic 95 1.5l LSi EG4

Hi all,

Car has turned into a mouse and squeaks when the clutch pedal is depressed.

Opened the bonnet and got someone to depress the clutch, and I've identified it as coming from the clutch slave cylinder...

Video attached:

Pardon the rust!

I think i need to relube it or get a new slave cylinder - are slave cylinders generic across all cars and brands?

Any comments welcome!

Step 1: Try greasing the contact points between the slave cylinder and release fork. There should be no need to disconnect the clutch line if you are careful.

Thank you kind sir, will try and source some white lithium lubricant.

Curiously, drove the car around today - squeaked initially but halfway through, the squeaks stopped!

As an aside, are all slave cylinders the same for different cars?

Would this work?

Says it's a "Premium quality white frease with zinc oxide anti-corrosion inhibitors in a high quality lithium soap base specifically designed for marine applications.

No. Not all clutch slave cylinders are the same for different cars, however you can use the CSC from any 92-95 Civic or 94-01 Integra.

There may be other Honda/Acura models with the same CSC. Best thing to do is use an online Honda parts dealership to find the part number and then find what other cars (Honda/Acura only) also use that same part number.

Between the model of your car and your written use of the English language, I imagine you're in the UK or Europe. I'm not sure what an online OEM supplier website might be, Lings Honda, maybe. You can always use an aftermarket brand as well, if Ron's solution doesn't work for you.

Hey Ron,

Thanks for your reply.

Had a go, leaked a bit of clutch fluid (majority of the stain at the bottom is wd40 for the two 12mm bolts).

Ball of the slave cylinder didn't quite go into the clutch fork first time round, and some of the fluid already in the system leaked a bit from the rubber and the slave cylinder.

Hopefully I don't need to do the hydraulics!

Went for a drive, and it all felt ok!

Very astute of you sir, I am indeed from the UK!

Worryingly, I fudged the job slightly, and forced some clutch fluid out and leaked a bit. Nothing too substantial, judging from the puddle in the video (which is a mixture of wd-40 and clutch fluid).

I'm hoping to not have to do the clutch line and all the bleeding. Will check the underside of puddles. My immediate drive felt fine!
