Default squeaky clutch pedal

Hey, For some reason my pedal has developed a very annoying squeak. It was small at first but has gotten louder, any ideas what might be causing this?
It is definitely cooming from the pedal area

Try some motor oil and just do it on the coils don't go crazy. Or you can always do what I did and blast the music so you don't hear it =]

Mine squeaked like hell until the pedal assembly needed to be welded back together

Now it's squeaking again...

Best is if you pull the pedal of the pivot, clean, lube and reassemble.

ARP moly lube works wonders for this kind of stuff.

well I thought I ought to let you guys know that I fixed it, just in case some one wants to try it on theirs.
I bought a can of lube at walmart for about 2 bucks, it's called white lightening or something. lubricant. I just sprayed all around that area, and used a straw to get to the cable guide hole. Pretty much sprayed all friction areas and through the engine bay I diconnected the cable and sprayed inside the cable.

let it dry and now no squeak =]

that white lightening is white lithium grease in a spray can. I've got some in the garage.



You picked the right thing: white lithium is exactly what you should be using on your pedal assembly; not wd40, 3 in 1 oil, motor oil, or ARP moly lube.
