Default Squeaky clutch petal

I have a squeaky clutch petal. Is there any thing I can do?

when does the noise happen? is it constant squeaking when your not touching it, or when you are using pedal? if it happens when you press the pedal it might be your pilot bearing, if it happens when your not using it, its probably the throwout bearing.

It happens when I push the clutch. So it might be the piolot bearing?

Sounds like you have a throwout bearing problem. Had the same problem with mine when i had my stage 1 spec, made a nasty squeek pressing the pedal in, the bearing was destroyed wish i still had the pic.

Mine makes a squeak when letting out on the clutch. Sounds like the hinge needs to be oiled or something. It's not the clutch, but it sounds like something in the floorboard

Kinda bringing up an old thread, hope nobody minds.

My '96 will produce a nice squeak (very much like a squeaky door hinge) during clutch pedal depressing- but only while the engine is running. Would this be indicative of a pilot bearing issue? If so, how involved is this? Otherwise, if its the TOB I know thats basically as much work as replacing the clutch

pilot is a lil more work than T/O......to do T/O you only need to remove trans ......to do pilot you need to remove everything....if you do one , you'd be crazy not to just do it all

Mine has the squeak also, it seems like it's about 1/4 of the way when pushing in the clutch, and it sounds like it's coming from a spring or something on the floor. I will be checking it further this weekend, and hopefully a little lube will fix it. It happens any time that I push in the clutch pedal.
