So when I press the clutch I get this high pitch squeak thats so annoying, I did my search on it but it’s not the pedal it’s under the car. Is it serious please help if I can solve it now rather than be stranded that would be great
The squeak is coming from under the vehicle yes? If it's coming from inside the cabin then you probably just need to spray some silicone lube on the pedal linkage or the shaft it attaches to at the top for the clutch master cylinder. If the sound is coming from UNDER the vehicle then spray down the throw out bearing fork.
It's going to be pretty tight with the vehicle on the ground, I recommend getting it up on jackstands, do NOT climb under the vehicle if it's only supported by a service jack. If you don't have access to these tools you can probably swing by a Jiffy Lube when they are slow and ask them to just spray down the slave cylinder with a can of WD-40 silicone lube like this.
Thanks, that's really helpful!
Thankfully I do have a good set of jackstands and won't ever get under the car with a service jack, honestly even messing with the wheels/brakes/etc. keeps me on my toes. Always store a tire underneath and always have a jackstand. I'd rather buy another wheel than a hospital stay or funeral.
