Squeek after clutch is pressed.

[magnum434]

Hey. So here's my problem. When I'm driving around, any time I press the clutch in, there is a squeek (it sounds like something is spinning and then slowly stops). The squeek will fade to nothing within about a second. It squeeks when I press in the clutch or if I just let off the gas and let it coast. It'll do the exact same. Squeek, and then fade away. What's going on here? Thanks.

It could be a couple of things but most likely it's either your slave cylinder or your clutch wearing out.

My car used to do the same thing before I did a clutch change. One of the major things I did ( And i heard of others doing to get rid of the squeak ) is to use lithium grease to grease up the point between the slave cylinder and the release fork.

I say it might be the clutch because the slave shouldn't be making a sound like it's spinning at all, so maybe it might be a clutch spring and the clutch going out.

Another thing not to rule out is the fact that your TOB(Throw out Bearing)/Release Bearing might be starting to go bad!

Yeah, that's after you check the slave cylinder first. Slave cylinder = 15/20 min

bearings = tranny drop = 3/6 hrs.

dont forget the output bearing on the tranny its self.


why would the slave cylinder make it squeak?

The slave cylinder has been known to make noises and squeak if the point between the slave and the release fork isn't greased up periodically.

Had a squeaky one myself. It's actually in the service manual when you do a clutch change to grease that little ball at the end of the slave cylinder and the groove where that ball shaped end sits at the release fork.
