Squeaking Clutch
Hi, a squeaking sound from pressing the clutch is becoming more apparent
lately. I have a 98 Civic Si (CDN). It seems like when the car is cold, the sound is really aubible. After say 30-60 min of driving there is zero to little noise. The sound is definitely coming from the clutch area around the rubber boot. I put a fair amount of grease on the shaft within the boot but it hasn't done much. Is there anything I can do? Thank you. |

If brake fluid, don't put any dino-based lube near the seals. You need a friend to touch the pedal, and a 3' garden hose to listen for the location of the squeek. 'Curly' |

I had to go and wipe down all the grease I had put in the rubber boot. Someone suggested I do that but it didn't work. I'm not exactly sure where the sound is coming from but as far as I know it seems like it's from the clutch assembly. You can hear the sound from within and outside the car. I sprayed down the spring near the clutch pedal, so I assume the sound is from within the engine bay. I'm able to engage/disengage gears without any problems. What I do notice is the sound appears when I allow the pedal to fully release and then depress it. But it doesn't sound when I'm holding the pedal halfway and then depress it. Any thoughts? Thank you. |

Thank you. ================ Only like I said, chop up a garden hose and locate the squeek. 'Curly' |
