Clutch pedal creak

Hello, All

My clutch pedal is creaking .

Any ideas?

Could it be the master or slave cylinders?

Thanks.

Most likely it just needs some white lithium grease. Remove the plaster under cover to gain access to the pedal and the rod to which it attaches that goes through the firewall. Then spray a little white lithium grease on the rod and work the pedal a few times. This should solve your problem. If it doesn't, report back.

Had same problem in Accord I owned. I sprayed WD40. Worked great.

+1 on trying this after work

I've been annoyed by this creaking for years and haven't bothered to try lubing it up

One of the best spray lubricants is Wurth HHS 2000.

It's rubber friendly. Don't ever let it sit on exterior body paint though.

It penetrates and sets as a grease.

Didn't even need to remove plastic cover. Did a couple sprays and no noises. That creak was so annoying!

Thanks guys!

You're fortunate in this. I have to remove the under cover since I am not far from 6 feet tall and around 205 pounds. The space just doesn't lend itself to my body.

Last week my clutch developed this "creak" near the bottom of the pedal travel. I've applied white lithium grease a couple times now. While it seems to work initially, the problem returns after a day or two.
What does this mean? Is my master cylinder on its way out?

My clutch creak is getting worse and driving me nuts. White lithium grease no longer works. Anybody have an answer for me?

In the same boat as you. Dealer has "lubed" it twice now which takes care of it for a few days. When it is real cold (below 20F) it is smooth as butter. Otherwise if I have the creak/pop when pressing the clutch down.
