For the past couple of months, I've noticed a squeaking noise whenever I engage and disengage the clutch. I've only been able to notice it while idling. It doesn't always happen, but more often than not. Whether or not it does it while driving is a different story, I can't hear it over the sound of my engine.

I had this problem on two occasions, first was sourced to the pedal lever
mechanism (usually a common feature on imported vehicles which are exposed to the sea air on the boat). A good can of WD40 and lots of elbow grease eventually will get rid of the noise. The other cause where the noise comes from the engine bay will usually be due to the clutch slave cylinder. Follow the clutch fluid resevoir to the first cylinder (master) then follow the fluid line to the slave cylinder near the front of the engine, need a good torchlight to see this. You may have to take any relay boxes etc to get your arms down into that area. Get someone to pump the clutch pedal and at the output end of the slave cylinder there is a rubber boot (the cylinder has a rod which moves an arm).Get your WD40 again and spray generously at the point the rod moves in and out of the slave cylinder.When the noise subsides just replace the boot and thats it. Hope this helps, Jon |
