has anyone noticed that when you push in the clutch it squeaks? it started doing it yesterday and its really annoying if ur in traffic with no music on. any one ever heard of anything like this?

Mine did that twice up to now. I bring the car to the dealer and they lub the clutch axel shaft.

Mine started to in the cold weather. If it returns now that it's warmer, I figure a shot of WD 40 should take care of it.

Mine did it when it got really cold outside as well. I haven't heard it squeek when it is warm though.Jim

Hiya...Yeah, I notice a noise on occasion. Actually it was warmer today but very humid and it did it. Mine sounds like a wheeze. I'm thinking maybe it's allergic to humidity.Dave

The squeak only heppens when you push the clutch in... when letting it out it doesn't do it.

Yup Yup.....same here.Jim

I'll be giving it a shot today, so will let you know, but I figure the squeak is in the pivot bearing. [although it was a record high by 4 degrees C./8 F. yesterday (18.2 C/65 F) here yesterday, so it may have faded on its own.]

Update: killed my clutch squeak! However I was mistaken; it wasn't the brake pedal pivot; it was the rubber boot on the cowl that the pushrod passes through. I ended up using a Teflon spray on the pushrod (but I'm sure WD 40 or silicon would do) and just one little burst did the job. Now to see how long it lasts...

mine to, just noticed last week. it sqeaks when i push it in and when i let it out. only have 7,600 miles on it. when the weather gets better i'll have to try the wd-40 or the silicone spray.
