Squeak from clutch pedal
« on: January 27, 2014, 11:00:29 PM »
As I lift my foot off the clutch pedal I get a high pitched squeak. I have tried spraying lubricant up toward the pedal pivot but no success. I am wondering it it might be the actual master cylinder or push rod.
Any ideas? I don't want to be too lavish with oils in case I get a reaction to plastic bushes or rubber components. Difficult to accurately locate the source.

I had a similar problem in my EP3 Civic Type R and it turned out to be the Master Cylinder.

Best take it to the dealer or garage and ask them to check it out

the pivot point that squeaks is pretty high up and inaccessible - try one of those PTFE / silicon lubricants (shouldn't cause the bushes to swell) with the extended red tube and a torch,  you will need to push drivers seat fully rearwards and lie on the floor to see it. 

Happened on both of our family Jazz's - funny it normally happens when the pedal is returning to up position.
Some people will only consider you an expert if they agree with your point of view or advice,  when you give them advice they don't like they consider you an idiot

Common problem on jazz's civic's and accords. Squeak is master cylinder, creak is pedal.

If it is the master cylinder (which I was worried it might be) what is the safe fix? I don't want to damage the seals.
