Is the sqeek on the inside or on the outside? If its the inside than its the pedal. Get in the there with a can of WD-40 and go crazy, eventually you ll get it and it will stop squeeking.

If it's on the outside than it's the clutch fork (the arm that gets puched in by the slave cylinder). It pivots inside the clutch assembly and that's where it squeeks. To get to it you need to take the rubber boot from around the slave cylinder piston to get inside the clutch. As for lubricating it - I don't know how. I have the same problem and I couldn't get underneath enough to see what's inside. The way I understand it is that you can't just pile up the grease inside because you can get it on the clutch.

To answer your question - no, it's not the sign of the clutch wearing out.

could be a seal, rear main seal, gearbox seal, or possibly release bearing.

sometimes the seals get hardish - specially with oldish cars like ours that havent been drivin

as much as they normally would be.

mine were hard and felt like it was about to crumble... not soft rubber

is it squeaking with your foot on or off the clutch?? is it in the pedal, or in the clutch??

if it does it at idle but goes away with the clutch in, it could be a misalignment in the clutch plate, one of the springs in the cover plate could be worn or bent, it could be nearing the rivets.

if its a pedal noise, could be any of the things already said. go crazy with wd40. if it changes for moment, thats where the noise is.

cheers

squeaky pedal? sounds like your clutch master cylinder. Cheap to repair, it will need a rebuild (seals, perhaps the shaft with a stainless steel sleeve), about $90. good idea to fix slave at the same time too. This happened on mine, eventually turned into a click, then bang no clutch. You may also notice that you put the clutch fully down and you recieve a small notch of the gearbox when putting into gear/into another gear - this is because the clutch is not dissengaging properly because of the fault in the clutch hydraulic system (the master/slave cylinders)

hmm this is happening to me to, i noticed it just then when i was driving with my head unit out... when i press the clutch in it sqeaks for and when i release it it squeaks, i thought it was coming from the pedal, but i hung my head out the window (i was stationary) and its coming from underneith the car.

Just bought the car about 10 days ago yet another thing i gotta fix :D at least it looks like its not to pricy

I have been told:

- When it squeeks as the pedal is in motion, the thrust bearing needs to be lubed

- when it squeeks when the clutch is out (engine running), but stops when you put your foot on the pedal, it's the spigot bush.

Mine was doing both. My clutch died prematurely (not related to squeek), got it changed, now it's all good.

mine started squeaking .... then it clicks .... then it breaks :D

could be a sign that the pedal box is about to snap if you have a heavy duty clutch fitted

crap.. mine's done the exact same thing..

does that mean i have to fully replace the master or slave cylinder or can i just rebuild it?

Mine has been squeaky for about 8 months now.

A few weeks ago it started clicking a bit

Then the click went away

Then it got hard to change gears

Then it snapped/banged and broke. Pedal Box.

This is after I fitted a 2500lbs pressure plate and 9puck ceramic clutch. It seems pretty common eh?

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
