Clutch pedal squeak

[br_an]

My squeaky clutch sounded like video #1. One troubleshooting idea: You could remove the assist spring/perch and test the pedal to see if the squeak is gone without that part in place. If it's still there it's obviously not your spring perch causing it

@br_an, I may get to that; let’s see what this last bleed down does for me first…bleeding is still in progress.

Update: Here are the start and stop videos of the 3rd bleeding procedure (2nd gravity bleed) that I’ve done on the clutch system. I started out with a new quart size bottle of DOT 4 LV brake fluid and I have used all but about 6oz of it. I am now 100% certain that I have more than adequately bled the system at this point. Having said that, the noise is still existent. I think I’m going to continue prepping the car to drive and test it out. It may just be that this new discovery has surfaced, now that I am running six new hydraulic lines totaling 199“ as opposed to the single 36” Steeda SS braided line that I recently removed to facilitate this mod. I’ll keep everyone posted as to how things shake out. Thank you all for your help and suggestions.

I just did the math and I’ve actually added a total of 163” of clutch line (minus the fittings), so there has been considerably more hydraulic fluid added to the system. I am seriously wondering if the additional volume of fluid could be causing the amplified squeaking.

Why, added a total of 163/193 " ?

It was required in order to install my Hitmaster 2 Stage Clutch Hit Control System. I now have full control (manually and electronically) over how hard or soft my clutch hits on launch and during shifts, while remaining in that sweet spot (just short of spinning the tires).

Slick,

Okay, I recorded two short videos to give an accurate representation of the noise. Video #1 is inside the car and focused on the pedal box assembly and video #2 is underneath the car. The noises appear to be different to me, with the noise coming from the tranny being the loudest.





I’d say it definitely sounds like two people getting it in on an old box spring mattress. Hell, I‘m beginning to wonder if there really are two people sealed inside of my tranny putting in work? LOL

Just noticed mine sounds the same... I wonder if its the spring in the throwout bearing

Mine worked itself out and hasn’t come back since.
