Squeaky Clutch - How To Fix?

[evil_weevil]

dammit I have the same problem!

Just happened tonight and got my exedy clutch fitted just over a month ago now.

Squeaks when depress clutch when driving to change gear - neatural and depress clutch - no noise.

Hopefully this thread can help me!

mad082 - thanks for the photo!

and just quickly - did this squeak happen to you guys while in gear only?

[mad082]

mine does it any time..... i think. never taken much notice as to whether it only does it in certain gears.

mine was doing that too. neutral and in gear. caouildnt really hear it when driving though, only when stopped really, somewhere quiet.

I got it greased up when i had the car on the hoist yesterday, the squeak is gone, BUT....now i have this click click sound when i push the clutch in.

it makes 2 clicks as the clutch is pressed.

any ideas what that is?

[mad082]

check that the frame that the clutch is mounted to in the cabin hasn't cracked and that the bolts aren't loose. do you know if it is clicking from inside the car, or under the car?

[Munkyb0y]

thanks for taking the time.

its clicking from under the car. can only hear it with window open in a quiet place, like inside my garage.

added: i called my mechanic after we greased the fork to stop the squeak, and told him about the click. he said not to worry about it, it will go away, it's just clicking against the groove that's been made thru all the squeaking. i'm not so sure about that though.

it could be the slave cylinder clicking in a grove it has made. you really need to be under the car and have someone push the clutch in. it could also be the slave cylinder bolts are a bit lose, or it could be the spring on the clutch fork (where it goes onto the throwout bearing) isn't in the right spot.

Your clicking noise could be coming from the cluch pedal pivot points in the pedal box as the plastic bushes wear away you start to develop a clicking noise. Try lubricating the points or swapping the bushes around.

wouldnt you know it. the click went away. my mechanic was right.

took it there today to get it up on the hoist, and just before we did, listened for the click...tada !!! gone.

thanks for ur help mad082.

mine does it only when the clutch is disiengaged. So once there is a bit of pressure no probs, so i'm gona investigate and spray some wd40 on the fork, but i suspect its the throw out bearing, bugga.

[Munkyb0y]

in case anyone else has this prob.

when i did a search i found alot saying it was the slave cylinder, needs to be chganged.

my clutch developed a really loud, annoying squeak. i mean embarrassingly loud.

so whenever i released the clutch, it would squea-ea-ea-ea-eakkk like an old lady's trolley.

wasnt like the previous squeaky rattle noise, which turned out to be the fork rubbing on the plate.

anyways, it was the fork again, but this time it was where it pivots on the rod inside. it was pretty dry and dusty at that pivot point, so i greased it up, and the noise is gone.

Mate! How do you grease it? Can you tell us where to as well?

[Munkyb0y]

yeah,

mad082 explained it on the previous page.

have a look at this pic.

undo the slave cylinders (2 bolts) and remove it.

then pull the rubber boot off, and get a torch, you'll be able to see in where that fork runs.

you'll see another rod inside running at 90 degrees thru the fork.

at that point where they pivot is where i greased mine. i used thick grease.

you'll probably need a hoist, or at least some decent clearance to get right under there.

Just thought id remind you guys its extrememly bad to apply wet grease to anything inside the bellhousing as it can and will find its way onto your prssure plate/drive plate/flywheel eventually. Better to use a dry lubricant like graphite powder.

I CONFIRIM;

The bit that was squeeking in my car was the actual metal pin that goes through the clutch bracket. I sprayed it with WD40 and it is all cool now.

You have to physically lay down on the floor of the car and so u can see the whole clutch bracket. The spray the clutch metal pin..its fairly large u cant miss it. Make sure u have a torch aswell and the red straw bit to direct the spray into the gap of the pin.
