Strange clutch noise
« on: September 30, 2016, 03:06:06 PM »
I've just been out for a short run and had an intermittent/inconsistent noise when starting to raise the clutch pedal. It doesn't happen every time, and it varies - sounds silly but it almost sounds like someone doing a low volume irregular whistle. Does anyone have any clues about what might be going on please?

You could check when any relevant clutch fluids were replaced? Seems to be very important to keep Hondas healthy with good fluid intake:)

It could just be that the clutch pedal pivot needs a spot of oil. This more easily done with an aerosol of general purpose oil but use some rag or paper to stop the oil staining the carpet. Don't get it on the pedal rubber.
After you've sprayed it work the pedal up and down a few times.

Vic.

Thanks for those responses. I've checked clutch fluid level, which is fine. The car is going in to the main dealer this week for something else, so I'll get them to check out this noise. If it's anything other than pedal lubrication I'll post again.

Hi,
I used to have a similar squeak on my old jazz, turned out to be the pedal rubber and my shoes, proved by driving without shoes! Never did find out why, cheap non fix if yours is the same,

Thanks to all who responded. It now looks like lubrication of the clutch pedal pivot has resolved this.
