When I press my clutch pedal it males a sqeak! My clutch is fine, it grips great! I have no idea what it is And one more question do i ever have to dump my clutch oil and put new in?

 

males *makes*

 

its your throw out bearing... mine did the same thing until i put some grease on it. then the noise went away.

 

Thanks

 

Its most likely NOT your throwout bearing.

It is most likely your slave cylinder that needs lubrication. It is on the front of your tranny. Just peel back the rubber boot and squirt some lube in there, or if you want to take it off and grease it up more efficiently, thats your call.

Lube and pump the pedal a few times and 95% of the time the squeak is gone. I would also lube up any moving parts on the clutch arm as well.

 

Thanks for your help man

 

Actually, it's probably not your slave either. More often than not, this is caused by no lube on the clutch fork ball stud. That's the little guy the clutch fork pivots on INSIDE the trans bell housing. The good news is that it can be lubed from the outside w/o pulling the trans(usually). Pull back the boot, use a long prybar to push the clutch fork off the ballstud a little. You will be moving the arm twoards the front of the engine, which will force the slave cyl back in its bore. Then, get a flashlight and a mirror on a stick, and look up in there. You will be able to see the ball stud, and the spring clip that holds the fork on the stud. Use a quality spray grease, like GM lubriplate, or something like it- white lithium works, but it doesn't stay put for too long. Use the straw that comes with the can and spray a little in there, and then look again to see if you hit the ball stud- go slow and don't go apeshit spraying it all over, you might get some on the clutch assm. that way. It's akward, but can be done. Work the clutch pedal a few times to make sure you got it. By the way, this usually works alot better when you jack up the car, and work from the bottom; the grease doesn't spray right when the can is upside down and is generally a pain in the butt.

 

i did a search for you and found this

Go to Honda and buy some "High Temp Urea grease" and lube it.


there is a piston (kinda looks like a ball-peen hammer head) in there that mates to the lever that applies pressure to the throw out bearing, releasing it from the clutch.

Remove the rubber boot to see it.

I love C-SPEED!

 

actually check your master cylinder. Mine squeeked until I changed it. Look under your pedal, inspect the little cylinder rod and see if you have any grease on it. It should be bone dry.

 

anyone remember the old saying about the simplest answer is usually the correct one? well this is one of those times. i agree with intekragsr, it has to do with your master cylinder. the piston that slided in and out through the firewall gets dry sometimes (and when the master cylinder gets old it leaks fluid/lubricant), which causes the squeaky noise you're talking about when you depress the clutch pedal. you can get under there (inside the car) and lube up the pedal side of the rod and it'll most likely go a way for a while. but if you've got dark fluid all over your carpet under your clutch pedal, then it's time to replace your master cylinder. this is not expensive and not hard to do all on your own...kinda fun actually. enjoy.

 

nice explanation

 

It is your slave cylinder. BlueHwrench si correct because i used to have a squaky clutch too until i replaced that part.
