clutch squeeks

[Hanuman]

my clutch squeeks now n then specially when letting the clutch out, doesnt feel like its slipping when driving is this a sign of it going or jus need tightening or something? cars only done 50k so shouldnt b knackered

[Sid]

give the cluch cable abit of WD-40 treatment @ the cluch end.squirt on cable and clutch arm itself,then just pump cluch pedal to lubricate.

mite av to do a couple of tmes to work out moisture.Did mine Tuesday nite, had enough of squeeking-especially crawling along in heavy traffic.;)

[saxoash]

if it squeeks when you press the clutch your thrust bearing will be going (This is a loud squeeky whining noise).

Else it just could be your clutch cable or arm needs a greasing

[Sid]

Also,check the point of engagement.Apply handbrake and slowly release clutch whilst in gear.If clutch starts to bite 2wards top of pedal,clutch on way out.

what type of a squeek a not lubricated squeek or a rattling squeek

[Hanuman]

its just a squeek not a whine or a rattle just a plane old like door hinge squeek, doesnt do it every time the clutch goes in or out it feels like its the pedal like it needs greesn or something, where abouts do i spray the wd40 like ?

[hesslevtr]

spray the pedal hinge in wd40 then put some grease on it and see if that cures it

[Hanuman]

sorry to bring this back up, i sprayed me peddle n slightly above it with wd40and it cured it for a while now its back sound like it squeeks from the engine bay like its maybe the cable needs greasin? where is the cable in the engine bay dont wanna sound like a noob to much but anyone got any pics or anything or where the clutch bit or arm thing is ? cheers guys rep coming someones way

[hesslevtr]

look on top of the gearbox and you will see it then just follow it to the bulkhead

[SAM33R]

hmmm mine done that when my release bearing came off the clutch fork :n:

but then again i wasnt getting any clearance from the clutch

its prob the bearing coming to an end.....best bet is to get a clutch kit

[Hanuman]

can someone point out in this pic where the clutch cable is so i can try spraying it ect cheers

how much is this clutch kit normally, hope i dont need that cars only done 50k wont be impressed if it needs a new clutch

[hesslevtr]

i cant point to it as its at other side of engine lol

look under the air filter and you will see the gearbox on top of that there will be a cable going to a metal arm that is the cable you need

LUK or VALEO are the only clutches to use vtr clutches are about £80 for LUK

[Hanuman]

had a look all the clutch cable is covered by a covering tube, there is like a 4inch part not covered just above the gearbox felt dry tried putting a bita wd40 on which pretty much didnt work, got me ma to press the clutch pedal in and out and the squeek is deffo coming from the area around the 4inch part not covered any idea what needs doin if its lube or internal want some idea before takin it to a garage who would probably just say new clutch

[hesslevtr]

you could wd40 the arm what moves when you press the clutch

im not taking any reponsibilities if it goes through and contamintes the clutch though and causes it to slip

you really need the box off to wd40 that arm though

[Hanuman]

when u say i need to the box or which box are we talkn? ill try getting to it as best i can and see what happens before i end up going to a garage, cheers

[hesslevtr]

the gearbox that arm what moves goes through the box and moves the release bearing

[Hanuman]

ohh damn so either way i need a mec to do it, i aint got any tools or skills to be doing that, cheers

[hesslevtr]

you can wd40 the top bit that might stop it

it might be the lower part of the rod squeeking or the bearing squeeking but you cant grease them without taking the gearbox off

[Delboy75]

Mine does exactly the same mate, even when im just going crawling along in heavy traffic the car creaks like fook. Its quite embarrasing really sounds like an old rusty door being opened and closed.

I tried the wd40 ages ago and it done now't, so i think a new clutch is needed.

[SAM33R]

maybe yours is the release bearing too

bearing is around 20-30 and the clutcj kit by Valeo are around 90-150

[Hanuman]

if it dont work ill just go to a garage n ask if they can grease it up, clutch seems fine to me it self like

[SAM33R]

mate clutch can still be all good, i.e the clutch disk and pressure plate but its most likely the bearing thats squeaking..... when you try spraying/grearsing/oiling the arm or cable, try not to get it in the gearbox housing otherwise your clutch will start slipping like mine did once :oops:
