Default Squeaky clutch problem SOLVED!

After trying all the usual solutions:
Greased the clutch slave cylinder and clutch fork/pivot area. Lubricated the clutch master cylinder rod with silicone spray. Replaced throwout bearing, clutch, and clutch master cylinder.

I finally got rid of that annoying clutch squeak by putting some high-temp grease on the clutch pedal pin! (The Helms manual even states lubricating this pin)

I found this pic from one of the threads here on HT.



Hope this helps!

You dont want to do that. The rubber and rod will make even more noise later if you apply grease there....It's not a place you NEED to grease.

^X2!

Do not lubricate the clutch master cylinder rod. I did and it didn't do jack squat lol.

@wunfstgsr: I had the same issue as you did and lubricating the clutch pedal pin did the trick for me.

Thanks ill try that pedal pin, its just it has the sound as if its dry when i push the pedal in as if theres no lubrication so thats why i figured the rod is what needs the lube.

The master cylinder rod is self lubricated by the brake fluid in the reservoir. Putting anything else on that rod could cause the rod seal to prematurely fail from contamination.

Do not use grease, grease will eat away at the rubber. Silicone paste NY 3m is best for this situation

So you simply pull off the cotter pin and pull out the pedal pin and cover it with the grease or silicon paste and reinstall? might have to try this soon.

The pedal pin isn't in contact with any kind of rubber.

It's as simple as that. Hi temp urea grease is what the factory recommends. (Same stuff used for the clutch slave cylinder and clutch fork lubrication points.)

If you dont want to spend the $10-$15 at the dealer for this grease, pick up John Deere Multi-Purpose SD Polyurea Gun Grease - TY6341 for around $5 a tube. Works just as good.
