Default squeaking clutch

i have a 02 type s and my clutch squeaks everytime i let go of the clutch.. i took it to acura because i had it in warranty.. they CLAIMED they fixed it and that it shouldnt squeak but they were wrong.. i tried wd40 and worked for only a week. now that i realized it still squeaks, my warranty is over.. what should i do??

The work they do should be guaranteed. Take it back to them.

nah, when i took my car up there, it was completely stock.. not dropped or anything.. i think all they did was wd40 it.. man my warranty is over, i dont think i can go back... and mine is an 02 so... what im going to do is try that urea grease.. and if that doesnt work.. guess get a new clutch..=/

yeah, let me know if that works! I have the same problem with my EP, but I cannot seem to find the time to figure it out! I really think it just needs some sort of grease!

Hmmm everyone has the same problem also. I thought i was the only one. Well Let me know what workx cuz its really getting annoying. Mine is an 02 and i got my car used so i had no warranty or nuttin. Replacing a clutch i dink would be too expensive just for some squeaks. I dink the grease should do. Well let me know guyz.

alrite i found the problem on ephatch.com and this seems to be a problem on some honda's and acura's. I read the Honda Service Bulletin and there seems to be a problem with our Clutch Master Cylinder. dammit my warranty expired 3 months ago. oh well, imma take it in to see if they'll do it for free on Monday!

Heres a link to the TBS: Clicky
