Squeaky Clutch pedal????? I can fix it so can you - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I developed this problem a short while ago and was thoroughly annoyed by about the third depression of the pedal! I vowed to find the problem and cure it. I started by climbing under the dash and getting your fingers on the different clutch pedal components while you move the pedal back and forth with your other hand. There is a spring on the assembly and if you put your finger on the spring you should be able to feel the spring binding together to make that horrible squeak. I used a can of silicone spray and doused the whole assembly, it still squeaked after I had depressed the pedal many times so I didnt think I cured it but after some more spraying and depressing it finally went away for good.

I had that problem,  I solved it with some wd-40.  I pressed the clutch down with my hand, and there is a joint at the end of the clutch.  A few shots and its was fixed for about six months.

I thought i was the only one with that problem. I solve the problem the some good ol' WD-40, the squeak was coming from the spring assembly, which places the clutch to its orignal position after depressing.  It came back once, but i repeated the afore mention steps and it has been squeak free for the past 8 months.
