Squeaky Clutch

People,

Need some help as this noise is driving me insane...

I have a standard clutch done a little bit now...

The problem is that the pressing the pedal previously would reveal a squak only intermittently.

Now it has progressed to quiet a number of times on an outing, both pressing and realeasing the pedal...

I used some silicone lubcricant (ska don't get any funny ideas) on the lever on the side of the gearbox. This stuff is what I used on my motorbike chain and is a VERY good lubricant, yet the problem still persists.

Any help would be appreaciated!!!

Thanks

Neill

i had/have this problem also.. i tried wd40 or similar under the pedal where the cable is and no change. then i accidentaly oversprayed the spring behind the pedal up the top and the squeak stopped straight away!! came back a few weeks ago but i drenched it in wd40 again and i havent heard a mouse since!

see how you go..

i know what this is, i had the same problem, its the slave cylinder.

look under the car at the cylinder while a friend pushes the clutch, and as the piston moves in and out it will make the squeek noise...

if you want it to go away, replace the cylinder.. although it problably wont amount to much if left unfixed.

Slave cylinder hey, I will have to check that again cause it has been recently replaced...

Its driving me nuts I will investigate more on Sat when I can get it up on a hoist...and I tried drowning it in WD40 to no avail, also where is this spring...

And definitely the outside of the car, had the girl push the clutch when I had it on ramps...

hey guys,

My clutch had the squeek 6 mths after fitting, took it back and they got under the car, removed the rubber boot and sprayed some type of lube on the clutch lever pivot point, all sweet now and the clutch actually feels a bit easyer to press in..  

cheers

Lenno

Hmmm might try that tomorrow!!!

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
