Clutch Pedal Squeak

My clutch pedal squeaks and it drives me crazy. It's coming from the pivot point up under the dash area. Tried squirting some WD-40 up on the bushings but it doesn't seem to help. I can't remember if I put any grease on the pivot point when I installed it. Hopefully someone has an easy fix for this.

It's been a while since I messed with A body clutches. DO they have plastic sleeve bushings in the pivots?

They probably need replaced, your metal to metal.

They are pretty much new. Replaced two years ago but only have about 1000 miles on them

Maybe the nut/bolt is TOO tight???


Yes, grease would work better......WD is too thin to last long

Do not use petroleum-based lubricants on plastic parts. The petroleum will soften the plastic. Use only silicone lubricants.

And WD-40 is NOT a lubricant.
