hey everyone my name is thomas and id like to say hi. I'm not new to celicas as i've had mine for a while but im definately new to forums in general. I made sure to cruise this site for a while before joining as to not ask any irritating questions, so hopefully i dont annoy anyone with this one. Lately, depressing the clutch pedal on my '99 gts elicits a creak from the tranny bellhousing. I imagine its my slave cylinder and have a clear shot at it when i remove the dust boot. I'm debating whether or not to try to lube up the assembly with a can of heavy chain lube. the only thing im paranoid about is soaking the clutch. This is a pretty common issue with stickshifts but i've never had to deal with it myself until now. tell me what you guys think the best solution is.
