Squeaking Clutch

Squeaking Clutch
My clutch squeaks a bit when depressing or releasing at a moderate speed. I hear the squeak even with the engine off. Does anyone know if the clutch (whichever link or pivot that is the culprit) can be lubricated without dismantling? I have about 75,000 miles on this clutch and it works fine (albeit a bit stiff) and figure I won't need to replace the clutch until around 100,000 miles.

i think its the spring on your clutch pedal inside the car??? mine squeaks a bit... no mechanical issues... i just need to lubricate it a bit, maybe even replace that spring if i won't quiet down... but my car is primarily a track car so it doesn't bother me....

It really doesn't sound like a 'spring' type of noise. It sort of sounds the same as when you have a glass of water, and wet your finger and rub it around the rim. It's almost a pure tone.
It can't hurt to try lubricating the pedal inside though. Is the spring easy to locate?

Paul,
Yes, I had the same on my car and it was heard both when engine was running and switched off. I know, since the pedal assembly bushes were changed first, without the squeeking subsiding.

Crawl down under the dash and depress the pedel with your hand. Look and listen from where the noise is coming from. If you hold the piston that goes through the firewall while pressing and the noise changes, then it is most likely that part of the mechanisim. DO NOT greese the piston (push rod) You can also test the movement of the spring while the pedal is on the flor.

It's probably just the clutch pedal assembly inside the car. No need to scare the man!
I had the same problem taken care of under warranty. The techs replaced a couple pieces of the assembly (I guess it was a slow week) but it's probably sufficient to just lube the pivot point.
