Recently when i press my clutch pedal it like squeeks or creeks. it really hasnt effected my shifting but i feel embarrased when i shift because of the noise. sometimes when i press the clutch in at a certain point on the pedal it doesnt make the sound. could anyone tell me what this is and how can i fix it?

mine does that when it gets cold. The spring starts to constrict a little and begins squeaking. Best advice I can give you is to spray some WD40 on the spring directly and see if that cures the problem.

Maybe you got some rain, or parked next to a sprinkler, mine gets like that when its either cold out, or it rains alot or gets doused next to a sprinkler. WD40 hasnt worked for me because it comes back in a few months. So I just deal with it

Get some lithium grease in a tube. I used that over 2 years and it just now started to come back, so I gotta get down there again and lube it up again.

Any automotive shop will carry it, good to keep a nice selection of lubes (automotive in nature) around. Got mine from Nissan - bout 6 bucks for a big tube.
