when I first got my car and knew nothing about it, I had a friend at good year get me a new clutch, and put it in, but it wasn't OEM. He said it had a heavy duty pressure plate, and could take a lot of abuse(since I was knew to 5 speed as well). Being the import hater he is, he can't even remember what clutch it was, but it was $500 bucks I know that much. Well anyway, the issue is...its making a rubbing or lil screech time noise when I push it down. It did this one time before then it went away, today I noticed it feeling "notchy" as I was pushing it down. And now when its disengaged, and then I re-engage it, it squeeks but if I pump it the noise slowly drifts away, then I let it out for a few seconds, push it again, and screech. I checked the fluid, and it wasn't low at all, but I topped it off just to make sure, but even when the car wasn't running, it was makin this noise when I push the pedal down. BTW its a 94 LS Hydro. Anybody have any ideas? thanks.

 

grease the tranny/clutch fork. you can use lithium grease in a spray can, or get your hands dirty and use some high temp grease.
