Hi guys,

I was driving yesterday; a piece of blue washer broke in half and fell from the clutch area (after depressing clutch). Ever since then, my clutch makes a squeeking noise upon depressing the clutch

. It's starting to get on my nerves

. Can anybody help me identyfy the part that broke off (small baby blue washer the size of the letter "O" on the keyboard). Or a sulution to the problem. Thanks, Mario

Are you talking about the clutch pedal area? Dunno what it could be but I've stopped by clutch pedal from squeaking before by cleaning the gunk the builds up and spraying the spring with WD40.

When the plastic bushing breaks, the clutch pedal return spring starts to squeak against the metal clutch pedal arm EVERY time you press & release the clutch pedal. Gets to be annoying really fast.
Replacing that stupid little bushing is a bitch as you have to disconnect the clutch pedal arm from the master clutch cylinder push rod. Once you disconnect the clutch pedal arm from the push rod, then you have to crawl underneath your dash & somehow pop the clutch return spring loose from the clutch pedal arm. One you do that, then you place that stupid plastic U-shaped clutch pedal bushing in the spot where you pulled the clutch return spring from. Then all you have to do is put the clutch return spring back on WITHOUT letting the plastic clutch pedal bushing from falling off. Major pain in the ass.
Don't ask me how I know all this...

Manonegra,
I used WD-40. It helped but squeek retuned after a few depression.

Aznpoopy,
Thanks for the information. It's exactly what I was looking for....I hope. I will do my best to utilize the search button next time.

Thanks for the help, Mario
