Everytime i press my clutch in, i can hear a loud squeaking from outside the car. I already know i have a problem wiht my release bearing, it had been rattling for a while. well it recently stopped rattling for the most part, and i noticed the squeak this morning. I dont know much about the clutch system, am i heading for a major break down or is it somethign else?

did you try adjusting the clutch pedal itself....i have a slight squeak once in a while and i'm gonna see if that'll make a difference....gl by the way

From what I understand there are two squeaking problems people generally have. One comes from the slave cylinder(heard outside the car) and the other comes from the master cylinder(heard near the pedal). There is a DIY to fix the slave cylinder squeak. I couldn't find it for you so maybe someone else can help you out in that department!

Hmm its definitely from outside the car, so ill look for the diy for the slave cylinder. thx

I have the sqeaking inside the car. Is there a DIY on the master cylinder?

^ I've had the clutch squeaks for years, it sucks

From what I understand, according to the bulletin at Honda, the master cylinder is supposed to be replaced with an updated version. With my employee discount, it would still cost me $220 here at the dealership.

That one thread was rather confusing, but I'm gonna dig into it on Sunday and see if I can get mine to quit squeaking.

I tried white lithium grease first, and it actually worked for a couple of months, but then my squeak came back. I took it in to the dealer, and they replaced the "clutch assembly" (that's what it says on the invoice) at no charge. That's been over two years ago -- so far, so good (fingers crossed).

Was that for a squeak inside the car or outside?

I've had a squeak for well over a year now....I'm just too lazy to do anything about it since it comes and goes.

I've seen the DIY, its prolly just dirty on the bearing or whatever...just have to clean it.

Here's the DIY. Did mine over a year ago and still squeak free. But now I'm starting to get the interior squeak...

It was hard to tell, but I think it was more outside than inside. I applied the grease from the inside, right at the pedal hinge and on the piston-thingy (I'm not sure what it's called) right where it goes through the firewall. I worked the pedal, and after a couple of minutes, the squeak went away, but it came back after a couple of months.

I had my car in to Honda 3 times for this. It took them that many tries to fix it. I was a squeak from the engine bay, not inside the car, when i pressed or released the clutch. It did it more when the car warmed up. I had the clutch master cylinder replaced under warranty per the service bulletin, but this did not fix it. They ended up just cleaning oxidation off the slave cylinder. I haven't had a problem since. It was described by the tech as "easy" I didn't bother to look under there myself, as I'm still under warranty. I'd look at the slave cylinder, were I you. Good luck.

Was it under a recall? or under warranty?

 
Rep Power: 272

It isn't a recall. It's a service bulletin. If you're out of warranty, you have to pay.....unless you aren't out of warranty by a whole lot, then request "goodwill consideration" and more likely than not, the service manager and regional manager will get it covered.

my clutch squeaks too. i've been meaning to do something about it for like a year now.

i've got the sqeak too. never done anything about it. I had it lookedat once before, they told me, more or less, "I was smoking crack, they don't hear anything." Figure I'll be getting a 100,000 maintence done soon, have the dealer look at it then. U think they could flahs my milage forward to the correct numbers, since I changed guages it shows less. it should be at 100,000+-. it shows 59,500 now.

well at some point today is just quit by itself, so theres prolly some build up on the slave cylinder. thanks to everyone who has helped out

When my squeaked, it wasn't all the time. It will return. Just goop up the slave cylinder and be done with it.
