Does yours squeek when depressed or all the time? My clutch sounds like a bunch of crickets chirping, but just the slightest pressure on the clutch pedal and it stops. My throw out bearing is causing my noise, because of the clutch is vibrating slightly.

 

does it squeak when you push on or let off the pedal... or is it when you start to engage the clutch??

If its with the pedal movement, your slave cylinder may be going bad ($20 to replace) or it could just be squeaking where the slave cylinder piston meets the arm.

If its squeaking when you start to engage the clutch, it may be getting close to time for a new clutch.

BTW mace, where in mass do u live?

 

it squeaks when i push it in .. like midway threw the motion
not liking the new clutch notion ... dont fell like droppin 500 on a new clutch

mine sqweaks too. It only does it when the clutch is being depressed, it functions perfectly just sounds like it needs a little oil somewhere.

 

my accord did that too, its the arm that connects the slave cylinder to the clutch assembly... I sprayed wd-40 on the arm where it meets the slave cylinder... and it stopped squeaking... that was like a month ago and still no squeaking.

 

well busted out the good ole WD and sprayed the shit outta it ...
not squeakin anymore sweeeet ... thanks fellas

Mine's doing the exact same thing as you Mace...where did you spray??? Did you just go under the dash and spray upwards or did you have to go under the car???

 

If you open the hood and look right on the front of the tranny... just to your left (as your facing the front of the car) of the exhaust manifold you'll see the clutch slave cylinder and the engagement arm... you may want someone to push on the clutch if you have trouble spotting it. Just spray where the piston meets the arm, and you should be fine. WD-40 has a drying agent in it though, so it may, over time, start squeaking again... if so you may want to find some lubricant with silicone or teflon in it.

 

I'm curious as well...i have some squeaking when I depress the clutch...of course i only hear it before I turn the car on (since my radio is usually playing too loud )

 

well i got some bad news ... it wasnt squeakin after i put it on but when i drove home tonight from work its still makin noise ... and its when i release the clutch not when i push it in ... i sprayed where SomeKid mentioned and i little bit inside the car as well ..... just looks like im gunna have to bring her in to get checked out i'll keep ya posted on the info

theres a pivot point for that arm, inside the clutch housing (just inside that rubber boot) where it may be squeaking from. I dont recomend spraying in there though, if it gets on the clutch you will probably have some slipping issues.

 

I have the same problem and the dealership said they sprayed something and it doesnt sound nearly as bad but they said not to worry about it

 

gotta love the dealerships ... " hey my door fell off " ... " well then just make sure to buckle up " bringin mine in on monday
