RE: squeeky clutch? - 5/9/2008 3:03:17 PM    solidsnakegt   Posts: 32 Joined: 10/26/2006 Status: offline To eliminate the squeak try this: Jack up the car and put it on stands. Crawl under the car and remove the dust boot on the transmission. It's aluminum and held on with a screw. Have somebody disengage the clutch while you look at the throwout bearing that rides on the input shaft. The squeak is probably coming from the bearing riding on the shaft. Put some grease on a screwdriver (or any other long, thin object) and grease the shaft. Try not to get any grease on the pressure plate or clutch disc. This is what I did when mine squeaked and it all worked out. (in reply to newbiestang) Post #: 7
