Squeaky Clutch

[AndyG]

Hi all

Last night my clutch started to squeak... on pushing the pedal to the floor it gives a sharp squeak, not on moving it back up when I take my foot off. If I press the pedal down really really slowly it doesnt squeak

Same again this morning (10 min drive to work) and after work this afternoon - but I took her for an hours drive and near the end of the time the clutch wasn't squeaking.

Just gone outside to try the pedal, and squeak is back.

Any ideas?

Gear change is fine, no problems selecting gears or operating the clutch, no other knocking or clunky or rattling.

93 N/A Supra, 90k miles.

Well just been outside again, and no squeak! So pushed the pedal in and out lots of times, and squeak starts up.

Leave it, try again, no squeak. Move it several times - squeak.

Sounds like coming from the pedal area/front right of the car like a rubbery-pushed-along-something squeak. Sort of

Is audible outside the car when it happens too.

mines started squeeking too theres nothing wrong the pedal needs a little oil on the joint thats all some WD40 will do the trick..

Cheers!

OK - showing my n00bness here (need to learn to maintain the care!)... is it easy to get at to oil, what am I looking for?

Sounds like I need to do the same for my FTO too - lol. Just been and tried that, same noise!

:stupid:

Feel under the clutch peddle, follow it up, (yea i know bad descriptions sorry), you will feel a joint, its where the peddle actually moves, the joint that allows it to move.. if u have a can of WD40 with one of them red straw thingy its easy to get to, otherwise u gotta have good aim :D

Are you sure its not outside the cockpit?

Get someone to try it while you stand outside.

If so, you can reach under the car from passenger side and find a rubber boot where the clutch actuation lever enters the box. This boot has a rectangular hole in the end where you can spray some grease in.

Mine does it all the time.

Sorry, read posts properly this time, if you can hear it outside, see my post above

Mine squeaks. I've fixed it before and it comes back now and then.

Mine is behind the little window plate on the gearbox.

Theres is a couple of pivot points (?) where the slave cylinder is (?) or something.......:innocent: so my brother says !

About 3 inches apart, top and bottom, sprayed with wd40.

Dunno exactly what I'm doing but it definately works.
