Mine use to squeek I used silicon spray on the clutch leaver, i think it is called some thing like that, anyway under the car remove the rubber plug in the gear box the get someone to push the clutch in and out the find the squeek spray the noisie joints. try not to get any on the clutch plate as it will slip and might burn out. the squeek might not go away straight away but give it 24 hours to work its way in.

I hope that makes some sence!

:(:D :D :D

What is that component that people refer to when you change your cluth that gets rid of the squeaking noise??

Is it the Thrust bearing (locating in the gearbox). Or something similar.

Thats what makes it squeak right?

I will be upgrading my stock clutch (that squeaks like a bitch every morning) soon and want to make sure the mechanic attends to it at the same time..

Any advice would be great.

Regards

Rob

My standard clutch squeaks as well. I'm getting a brand new Daikan heavy duty installed today so I'll let you know if it still squeaks. I doubt it will though. I'll also ask the mechanic what causes it.

Hey 2fardwown,

Yeah that would be good... (I think it just needs lubrication, but you can't get to it very easily from the outside.. the best time to do it is when you install a new clutch).

Keep us informed..

Mine creaks too! Isn't that funny, I 've got an aftermarket clutch... 2500pounds ceramic multibutton. awesome clutch. it creaks tho' when the pedal is depressed.

I have also noticed tyhat when my car is on idle i can hear this squeaky noise. I place my foot on the pedal just a bit, say depress it about 20mm and the squeakin stops. hmmm...

Any Ideas????

Squiggle San,

The creaky noise is just the levering mechanism. nothing to worry about. The whirring sound when your foot is off the pedal is the thrust bearing - nothing to worry about there either. The bearing will outlast your clutch & when it's replaced, it's routine to replace the thrust bearing. My BigDatto does the same. Don't sweat it.

Sayonara.

So what exactly is it that makes it squeak???

It does it every morning for me and does not go away until 30 minutes of driving.

Really annoying.

I just want to make sure I fix it, the same time I get a new clutch.

Regards

Mr Datto, dank you vely march!

I only had my clutch replaced not that long ago. I have alos noticed that if i don't have enuf revs the thing bounces. is this due to the heavier plate.

it happens all the time when i'm going up my drive. don't want to rev it too much or it will lite up.

soyanara.....

The fork pivot ball can sometimes snap away from the lower threaded section, pressure from the fork ensures that the two pieces will never separate and the squeaking comes from the two halves on some occasions.

I was told this by the owner of a performance workshop and when I questioned the validity of the information, he opened the drawer of his desk to reveal 5 new threaded pivots waiting for cars with this complaint.

Apparantly the part costs stuff all and is the same for both 31's and 32's.

33's I'm not sure on but I think he told me they were all the same aswell.

well, my little Nissan Pulsar hatch ('90) has a squeaky clutch too! I've just started watching Initial D, so for a bout a week i was going a bit crazy with the down shifting, using the clutch a HEAP more than normal, usually if i'm just coming up to a red light or something, i just thro it in neutral. But i started down gearing everything, see how quick i could do it (no where near as quick as some of the Best Motoring vids i've seen tho) :)

anyways, started squeaky after this liberal use... So it's not something that i can attack with a can of WD40 and crawl under my steering wheel to get to the pedals? I need to take something apart??

cheers.

    • 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.
