Angry clutch pedal squeaks

any 6mt owner out there experiencing this problem? my clutch pedal started squeaking at about 4k mile and ever since then it never stop. took it in the dealer, try putting some grease on it but after 1 day it all came back.
took it back couple weeks later to replace my rearview mirror(rattling noise), told em about the same squeaking problem and also try greasing it again. after a day holding onto my car they called me up and said the clutch pedal assembly must be replace. im cool with that but the parts wont be here for 2-4 weeks. that sucks but im glad their willing to replace it for me rather than trying to fix it again. its a very annoying issue, especially at 1st n reverse where you have to let the clutch out slowly.
anybody here has the same issue? looks like ill have to stick with it for another month or so..

yup...been happenin to me for a while now, then went away for like a week and came back. It is a little annoying but its such a small problem that I dont even bother going to the dealer about it. I keep telling myself that I will, at first it really killed me and I was going nuts...but now I barely notice it.

So it's somewhere in the clutch pedal assembly itself?

my previous hondas had the squeeks coming from the clutch fork within the transmission case that pushes the release bearing where it pivots on this metal ball stud.

This is exactly what I was going to say!!!
I brought mines in for this and the seat heater, sunroof accordian thingy, and a then barely audible clicking noise from the engine. I got the car back 2 days later with everything addressed but the clicking noise. The clutch has not given me anymore problems since.

I don't think they replaced it. I think they disassembled it, lubed it up and pt it back together.

Can you also feel the vibration of the squeak in your foot?

This is what just started for me a couple of days ago. 20k miles on my 05 coupe.

No vibrations, just an annoying creaking everytime I pressed down or let off the clutch.

I'll have to look at it tonight and see if it is in fact local to the pedal, or perhaps to the entire mechanism.

My sound/feel happens at the last 2 inches of clutch travel when pressed, then the first 2 inches as it is released.

Mine just started doing that this week. If it's a warranty item, I might be taking it in soon.....It's a little annoying.

It took a long time for them to get the replacement in, but the new clutch makes a world of difference. It was the most annoying at slow speeds.

Nah, installed RB x-drilled & slotted rotors with Hawk HPS pads instead, and got too tired to look more closely at the clutch.

On one hand, the sound stopped! Woot!
On the other hand, the clutch as started to slip. Boooo!

I only have 19.5 k miles on it.

The clutch assembly in my 05 coupe has been replace twice now, once at about 16k and one again at about 44k miles. It is some round metal bushing that gets a little squared off or something. They don't even challenge me on it, they act like they know it is an issue and always have the pedal in stock within one day at Concord Niello in CA. I almost wish they would just figure out what it is, or at least tell me so I can fix it when my warranty is up. But they have been very nice so far.
