My clutch squeaks when I'm starting in 1st gear from a stop and shifting into 2nd. Seems like something needs to be lubed up. Can soemone tell me what I need to do? thanks

 

How do you know its by the clutch area ? Sure its not a belt or anything like that. If it is coming from the trans, It could be the flywheel bearing.

 

I just assumed it had something to do with the clutch because It only happens when I let it out.

 

anyone?

 

Is it an aftermarket clutch?

 

Yes, It's a clutchmasters

 

It's usually where at the front where the servo line meets with the release fork underneath the rubber boot. It gets dry and squeaks when depressing the clutch. Happened to me in my R

You may need to remove the servo to get good access, but what you need to do is use Honda Urea grease to place a small amount in the depression of the release fork and maybe a touch on the ball of the servo, put them back together and all should be well again.

 

Replace the flywheel bearing and lube up the throw out bearing.

 

Its also common for performance clutches to "chirp" a bit.

Sounds like it might just be a normal noise of the clutch. My brother's Exedy race makes what some might describe as a "squeak" (although it isn't actually squeaking) when engaging from a stop.

 

YO clutch masters squeak so dont be scurred. mine does da same thing. i should of went wit ACT

 

How do I remove the servo?

 

ACT squeeks too

 

Yeah, that's the best way I could describe it, so it's normal?

 

My OEM Clutch [ 2000 Integra LS 45k miles ] "chirps" as I let off the pedal and accelerate.
It does this most noticably in the lower gears (1,2,3).

It's been doing this for about 10k miles [I'd guess].

I assume it is the clutch because I only hear it with the windows open, and it doesn't make the noise if the transmission is not in gear.

 

Clutchmasters are known for chirping or howling when letting out. Because they are racing clutches and they are made for a more harsh engagement.. there's nothing you can do about it except find another brand or use a stock clutch.

Don't listen to all of this BS.. it's not a bearing and it has nothing to do with your clutch slave cylinder ball or the clutch fork. If it was.. then you would hear it whenever you push the clutch in too.

 

Ok thanks guys, the sound doesn't really bother me too much, I just wanted to make sure nothing is wrong.

 

My ACT heavy duty pressure plate and street disc (90-91 Integra) groans when I release it, but only if I ride the clutch... is this normal?
