My clutch is creaking like a old door - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

silvia240 · 06-17-2002, 11:52 PM

So i bought some lithium grease and greased up the spring like crazy but the sound is still there.  I had my cousin press the clutch down while i was under the car and the creak is definately coming from under the car.  What is creaking?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>?
And how can i fix it?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>  And plus i can feel it creak in the clutch pedal.

I haven't gotten a chance to see where mines is coming from but it seems that it's the pedal and not the clutch.

My clutch does a "click, click, click" when I push it in so I thought for sure it was about to go...but it's been doing that for about 2 months now and I can still bark the heck out of 2nd gear so I don't think it's anything too serious - at least it's not slipping <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> Wow, sounds like several of the 240's are doing this, hmm...

silvia240 · 06-18-2002, 09:50 PM

my clutch still is strong.  I can launch good and cherp my tires easily.  Ao i dont know what it could be cauz i cant see where it is squeaking.

bing · 06-18-2002, 11:16 PM

exactly the same problem here..

heheh i was thinking about asking about it too.

bc240sx · 06-18-2002, 11:56 PM

mine does the same thing too, even i got a new clutch the cracking sound is still there. I'm sure is the pedal not the clutch , from what i heard is the pedal bushing that is wearing out, i still havent; got time to fix it .. >< Also somehow those cracking sound migth go aways once in awhile right ?>?

bsb240sxse · 07-01-2002, 07:01 PM

I have the same problem and it is driving me nuts.  I greased the spring and the rod going through the firewall and it stopped for about a day.  I even had a friend push the clutch while I filled it with grease and it is still loud.

Join the crowd!

bah......just get a louder exhaust.

i had the same problem with my old Z32, a tech said i just had to deal with it.

gsu240 · 07-01-2002, 08:01 PM

like bsb240sxse said, join the crowd, mine does it too and i just used a few sprays of WD-40 about once a month and it takes care of it.

BlackFox · 07-01-2002, 08:24 PM

There's an arm that the hydrolic clutch cylinder thing pushes into. that pivot on the tranny may need some grease.

I got a little squeek still, it adds character to the car  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Apparition · 07-01-2002, 09:51 PM

I'll add into the fray, and say "Mine does it too!" I've done all the greasing and oiling, and it doesn't make a difference. Just learn to love the squeak. At least you know your clutch is working then.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Hehe sounds like they all do it, My 95sx-se is freaking loud, I just crank the music.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>
