Clutch

[Tommy:]]

Sorry if this question is obvious, this is my first 6MT. Whenever you guys press down the clutch, does it make kind of a cranking sound? Is that normal?

[Scandinavian Flick]

please further explain the cranking sound? also no it shouldnt make a cranking sound

[theoctopussi]

cranking? describe a little... mine is smooth... it squeeked at one point but that's about it...

Sounds like its coming from the pedal itself, not the whole car. Like kind of like squeaky pedal yeah.

good luck man, ive been having so much problems with my clutch (and symptoms of a bad clutch is creeking/clicking/squeeking clutch)

i had my master replaced, and it was good for the first bit, now the sound is back

and another major issue is the clutch pedal falls 1/3 lower then normal spring action, im goin to the dealership again some time soon and asking for a new full clutch system + transmission, this issue has wasted over 100 hours of my life at the stealerships

*ps* the noise/problems on hte clutch will get worse and worse...just a heads up

Even if it sounds like its coming from the pedals? You can't hear the creaking from outside the car, only inside.

creaking and cranking are different lol if it's crankin... get it checked out! creaking is coo... my 00 alti did it too... grease helps...

[LegendRacer]

it may not sound like a major problem (which probably not considered to most people), but the sound is coming from the INSIDE (near the pedal)

its not something you can fix with a greaser or lube, from my research for about 6 months, a very close example would be the 350z's with the similar clutch problem which is a DEFECT and cannot be fixed. So therefore major parts have to be replaced. And my case i replaced Pedal assembly (no good at all), then the master (which was good for 1000KM then back to problems)

The clutch noise is one thing, the weak clutch feel, failure to spring back up the entire way, and engaging in gear roughly no matter how slow you let ur clutch go

ouch...
