clutch feels weird when pressing in...squeek?

when i push in my clutch pedal, near the end of the push, i feel like a small grind type of force. i cant feel it unless i am really concentrating but i feels like a type of friction. kind of like somthing scraping against something. or i might be overemphasizing and it may feel like a squeak. im not so sure.

is this okay or should i get it checked?

I know what you mean, near the end of the clutch engaging.
- lubricate it

I bought a spray can of white lithium grease from autozone and sprayed directly behind the clutch lever where it goes through to the firewall (i don't know what its exactly called). I pushed it in a couple of times with the grease and it works smoothly and quietly.

You have to remove the black cover out in order to see the clutch lever and before that I had to remove the plastic cover right under the steering wheel first. There's one screw on the right side, remove that and then you can pull it out.

i was wondering is there another type of grease or lubricant we could use?

There's a huge thread on this in this section... probably no more than a few pages down. Look for "Clutch creaking and squeaking"... it'll be apparent.

Basically what rtea2008 said is right... lube it.
