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.

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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
