My clutch was making these noise since I got my car. and this week I finally had a chance to fix it. I bought a new return spring, I think that's where the noise from since the spring might be never replaced and could be already 10 years old. When I was installing the new spring. I found out that the washers were broken. So, I guess that was it, that's why the clutch were making these squeaking noise. I called the nissan dealer, the guy told me the washers are 5 bucks and I have to order them. 3 days of waiting. And guess what, I think I dont need the new washers, I had these black tape wrapped the tips of my new spring and it worked. one rounds good enough, you dont want to make the tips too thick right? no more squeaking! That was my solution. not good at writing, but hope this could be useful to some one.

my clutch does this too, but I don't really hear it over the engine so I havn't ever bothered to check. At least you figured out what it was!

mine used to squeak all the time, i traced it down to where the slave cylinder presses on the release fork. greased up the recessed area that it sits in... and.... it still manages to squeak occationally

I could hear mine squeaking from the pedal itself got under and lubed everything up with lithium grease. Been almost two years still hasn't squeaked since.

Mine sqeeks every once in a while. I just grease it with high temp lube and it worked somewhat.
