Default Clutch Squeak

i have a 2003 Gt, for the past two days everytime i depress my clutch pedal i hear a squeak noise, it is coming from the firewall underneath the hood, what should i check? or is it the cable, i put wd 40 underneath the dash where the pedal is at the end of the cable and that didnt help

Lol I Think I have the same problem, I hear random squeaks, and Im pretty sure its not brakes or suspension. Also I noticed around the same time the noise started, my clutch pedal feels weird. Like its not a smooth motion anymore when I press the clutch.

I know the squeak I hear isnt my throw out bearing, my throw out bearing makes a totally different constant noise lol.

Did your pedal used to feel smooth? I swear mine used to feel fine, then one day I just noticed it kinda felt like ****. And the clutch isn't that old, when the car was on a hoist, I could still see all the grooves on the flywheel from being resurfaced.

I broke a throwout into 3 pieces and drove on it for a long time without noticing. The pedal was stiff as S**T though.

Follow the clutch cable and check for binding or rubbing.

So when you push the pedal down, the sound goes away? Definitely sounds like a TOB.

i have the same problem, of course its just after i installed my LT headers, so taking the trans out is going to be a bitch, but heres a question, when i do this, should i just do the clutch at the same time, it only has 36k on it.
