Squeak

Ever now and then I heard a little squeak from the clutch (i think) when I'm changing gears, is it anything to be worried about? I did just have it serviced.

 

Springs that pull the pedal back ????

 

I get the exact same thing.. I'd say it's just metal on metal friction at the join, nothing a bit of grease or WD40 should fix.

I don't mind it, I think it sounds kinda cool

 

I'm not sure if it's just me but do you guys get noticeable vibration from the transmission at about 5k, like if you have your hand on the gear stick you'll feel it. I think I'm just expecting too much from an old car?

It should have been done, it just had a full service.

 

Nah, I mean on the peddal itself.. I doubt mechanics grease that up

Your squeek might be different to mine, heh

 

i've had that in every manual car ive driven

 

no it's a very loud squeak, defiantly not coming from inside.

 

what gears it do it in ?

all or only 1st ??

 

the transition from first to second I think

 

when u hit it or just cruise ?

lift foot of clutch hard or soft ? (quick or slow)

 

Check the pedal to be sure, the bush looses their lubrication and get very noisey.

If not, the thrust bearing grease may be non-existant, have you had the clutch replaced lately? If so, what grease did they use?

 

haha i tell myself that when i start my car in the morning and the fan belt squeels for 2 seconds.

Tell myself "yep... means its working"

i am of course lying to myself haha

 

Actually that's what it probably is. It happens when I start up in the morning or at the end of the day after work.

 

you dont have a mystery little mouse running round your zed do ya !!
