i've been reading up lately and i'm starting to think my clutch bearing or spring might need to be replaced.

does anyone know where i can get this replaced without going to the dealership?

thanks

Are you talking about the spring that's physically on the clutch?

 

not sure.. all i know is that everytime i step on the clutch pedel.. it makes a squealing noise.. i tried some wd40 tonight.. we'll see if it takes care of the problem

 

What did you spray the WD40 on?

 

i sprayed it on the back of the clutch pedal.. and almost all metal parts where any lube might be needed. i think i sprayed almost everything except the wires and the fuse box.. lol

 

So is the noise coming from the clutch or the clutch pedal area?

 

it was from the clutch pedal area, but i sprayed the behind the pedals, and all the joints underneath where screws and nuts are

after a test drive.. clutch pedal much smoother and no squealing noises

 

The slave cylinder should be greased with lithium based grease. It is made to handle high temperature. I believe WD40 hardens when exposed to high temperatures. It should be ok on the pedal parts but I would still use some grease on that as well.

 

where is the slave cylinder?

 

Its the part that moves the clutch fork. It is attached to the outside of the transmission.

 

the squeaking resonates thru the pedal and makes it seem like it's the pedal.
but in fact it's just like how it was stated above by Oyoquem.

 

yeah i'm not too good with these things.. sprayed wd40 and the sound is gone.. probably quick fix.. but i'll need to eventually put the greese sooner or later

 

What kind of grease are you suppose to use?

 

it's called lithium greese. it can be found almost everywhere.. home depot, kragens, etc etc.. usually comes in a tube.. costs around $3-7

 

I use Mobil 1 synthetic grease. Its lithium based
