Clutch Pedal Sqeaky Not Notchy?

[RedEmblem]

Hey all,

my s2 33 has had a sqeaky clutch for as long as ive had it (about a year). recently though, when i press the clutch pedal in i can feel and hear a 'notch' about half way through. its like a click, ans usually happens only if the clutch is pressed in fast. i remember reading someones comments on these forums that the predals can go from squaky-notchy -and then break.

can anyone else shed anymore light on this?

thanks.

I have a similar problem. When I press down on my cluth pedal it squeaks (although i've always assumed that the actual pedal itself has just needed a grease up) but recently ie last couple of months the peddle feels like it is notchy. It still seems to have all the same grip, ie The car doesn't feel like its slipping or not getting the power to the ground, its just notchy.

Like Red Emblem said, it is usually about halfway down or up and you can feel a notch, although for me its usually on the upstroke of the releasing the clutch. I would also be interested to know anyone's views on this or if they have fixed it etc.

Mine had that. Then when pulling into work, the pedal box broke. Popped all 4 spot welds holding it together, split it, and twisted the box. Me > car towed home

Get under the dash, look at the braket at the top of your clutch pedal. Take note of the side welds.

u can get nismo heavy duty clutch brackets they are around 150 bucks if you wont want to reweld your own one. mine has been squeeky and notchy for the last year, has not broken yet.

Mine squeaks like a parrot. I used silicon lubricant spray pretty wildly under there until it stopped, but now it's back 3 weeks later. =-//

And my 4-month old clutch is slipping badly. Doing searches on clutch adjustments atm.

dont start on pedal boxes........

My pedal box where the actual pedal pivots on the hinges snaped completely on one side and made a loud snap like my trans just dropped hehehehe

then the clutch was completely loose and sooo easy to press, gotta get it re welded back up with some reinforcements..........

has anyone attempted doing it themselves???

how much of a bitch is it and what has to be taken apart...

my mech quoted 300 for labour and to re weld it and also re inforce with new brackets....

lucky i havnt taken it too him yet....

[Bl4cK32]

Pfft..$300 for labour.

Take off the pin from the clutch master rod, then the 2 nuts holding the cluth master in the engine bay. Get up under teh dash, and theres 1 bolt at the top of the box. Then it comes out. Simply use some scrap pieces of sheet to reinforce the areas where the spot welds are (making sure it will still go back in origional spot after)

Hes charging you to remove 2 nuts, 1 bolt and a little welding....about 3 hours work. I can get my clutch master off and the pedal box out in like 30 mins.

yeh i knew he was shonky, he was telling me he has to take off the whole dash and shit,

Easy as pie to see in the R33... climb in the footwell on your back, follow the clutch pedal.

It goes to that rod, which goes to a rubber grommit, which goes through to the master cylinder.

that should be the same as the R32 yeh???

im gonna look into it 2nite and check it out

i knew i could always count on you guys

cheers.

hmmm.. got a bit of a squeaky clutch.. comes and goes.. mainly comes when i've been driving in the wet which makes me think it just needs an oil.. but could be wrong..

might have to take a look at it this weekend..

weasel: yeah man, your clutch pedal should go to the firewall, where it is held on by a bracket which has been spot-welded to the firewall.

If you want to get everything out of the way to do the welding, then yeah... you'd be pulling half the dash out. I recken you could get in there with the method that I described and chuck a couple of welds on it.
