johnnyknox Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 My clutch makes an annoying creaking noise when it is depressed. The sound appears to be coming from near the pedal, where the cable meets the hole in the chassis throught to the engine bay. I have used WD40 to get rid of it and is has done a bit, but I imagine it will come back again. Anyone have any suggestions in what I should use?...some form of grease maybe?...or even something like this maybe?: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PUTOLINE-CABLE-LUBRICANT-APRILIA-BMW-DUCATI-GUZZI-HONDA_W0QQitemZ180014721762QQcategoryZ25623QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem Thanks a lot Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 As it is a hydraulic clutch you may struggle finding a cable to grease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk-rich Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 it will be the fork, remove gear box inspection plates, a carefully aimed shot of spray grease will cure the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Mine does the same, and I'm sure it's the pedal - I assume it's the bushings. I've tried the "remove the cover / spray the fork" thing and it made no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbour walked passed a pissed himself cuz I was stuck in the footwell at one stage I know. I've tried spray grease etc. but it doesn't really work for very long and it looks almost impossible to actually remove the pedals and grease the bushes. If it helps - eventually, you get used to it and hardly notice it. And you can always turn the stereo up. My service is next week - I might ask Mark at Phoenix to sort it. The bill is going to be big enough as it is - and I've spent waaaay too much money this month (and will for the next couple of months) so what difference will a few quid more make....
