Hey guys, I've got a 00' GSR and whenever it is hot, the clutch pedal makes a clicking sound when I let off the pedal. Does anyone else have this problem? And if you fixed it/had it fixed, what was the solution? TIA

I have the same problem. Well maybe. I have a '97 LS and the clutch makes a slight clicky/whiney sound when my foot is completely off it. If I push it in just a bit it stops. This happens always, not just when the car is hot. It is not very loud and is only noticable if I am beside something that the sound can bounce off of, or else you can't hear it.

Anyway, sorry I don't have a fix for this, but maybe it is normal?!

I have something similar I think, on my 99 gs, I don't know if it happends when its hot or all the time.
It kind of clicks repeatedly, like a creeking I guess when I let off the clutch, only at the very top, not on the way down either... any ideas...

 

[JUICEDGSR95]

Would it be the clutch engaging to the Flywheel??? just a guess..

 

[dmannGSR]

No, I don't think it is the clutch engaging to the flywheel, the noise is actually coming from the pedal itself. When I press the pedal down and start to let off, it clicks. Annoying as hell!

What does it mean when your clutch kinda squeaks when you press it sometimes?

 

[StyleTEG]

Squeeking is either an indicator that the rod behind the clutch that goes through the firewall needs some lubrication, or your clutch master cylinder is leaking.

I have the same exact problem, that I just noticed recently, I think it's the clutch cable making the noise, but I'm not positive. Very annoying though. What would be good to lube it with?

 

[Patsintegra16]

hmm...ic. It doesnt squeek all the time, just some times.

 

[StyleTEG]

Rainman, your GSR has a Hydraulic clutch so there is no cable. Try some silicone lubrication spray.

I have the same problem. It's the pilot bearing.

 

[SmoothGS]

If its the pilot bearing, how do I lube it? Where is it under the dash... I just got this car and its still new to me!

 

[Rainman]

Styleteg, and particular brand or kind that I should use?

 

[StyleTEG]

Nah, anykind will do. They normally sell it at local auto parts stores, as well as most hardware stores.

If you look under the dash, behind the clutch pedal itself you will see a metal rod that runs from the back of the clutch into the firewall. You want to lubricate the point where the rod and the firewall meet.

Try spraying it, then pumping the clutch a few times. Repeat that process afew times.

 

[Rainman]

Ok, will do, hopefully it will work, thanks for the help

 

[dmannGSR]

Hey, thanks a ton for the tip man. I'll be doing that ASAP!

Is this a sign of something thats going to go? Ie is this just a temp fix for it, or is this something that a lot of cars see or is common?

 

[MichaelDelaney]

uh, take a look at your maintenance schedule...you are supposed to have that pedal lubed according to that...if yo have not, just take it in and they'll lube it for you in 5 min.

 

[SmoothGS]

I just lubed the rod going into the firewall under the dash attached to the clutch pedal and it still clicks. I used a silicone spray. Should I spray it somemore or try something else, like all purppose grease or a different type of spray.
