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.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
