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?

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
