Creaky Clutch

[mikewags]

My recent escapade with adjusting my clutch has gone great! There is one thing now. Over the past day or so, my clutch (which is stiff, great!) has started making a Creaky sound when I let up on it.

It sounds like an old creaky door opening.

This hasn't effected the clutch/performance at all, but sounds kinda weird.

Has anyone experienced this? Could it most likely be fixed with some WD40 or grease?

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

yep, same thing here. I have yet to try WD40. Try it and see what happens.

My creak was caused at the pin that goes through and connects the pedal arm and clutch rod clevis.

You know the one, the one with the little lock pin that is SO much fun to put back in while lying upside down under the dash.

I went throught the usual spray lube on the spring, boot, rod etc and it would go away for a while. Even changed the master thinking it was internal to it. It worked for a while, then it came back..... Grrrrr.....

Conclusion? replace the pin (its worn from years of contact pressure). If you rotate it out if its usual "resting" place, the creak will go away. Once it moves back to its old spot, "squeak creak, AHHHHHHH!!! "
