Squeaky clutch

My clutch pedal has been squeaking recently. It sounds like it's coming from the spring area, but I see no problems at all and it only happens when I push it in all the way. I can hear a normal squeak and movement when I push it in, but at the extreme end of the push, it squeaks real band and makes a sort of grinding pop. Ideas?

sounds like you need to lube the clutch linkage...get under the truck and put the grease gun on it, and pump until you see new grease come out. mine squeaked too, and after i did this it stopped. it also worked smoother, too.

Squeaky Clutch

It could be the Throw out bearing going bad. Is it sort of squeaky but can you feel a rubbing in the clutch pedal.

It's a catastrophic success.

Does it sound like its inside or out? The clutch rod runs though the brake pedal mech, lube all that too and where the spring makes contact.

To add to sneakysnake, their should be two plastic bushings at either end of the shaft that connects the pedal to the rod that goes through the firewall.
