Quick Clutch Question

[emery]

As I push in my clutch there's a squeaking noise, just even when the motor is off. Kind of like somethings rusted or so. Is there anyway to fix this? Nothing really big, just kind of annoying.

Also, in first gear sometimes when I shift slowly, I can hear a screatching sound. Could this be a sign that my first gears messed up or burnt out? I know I'm shifting right, just sometimes when I'm in traffic and gas a little and let the clutch out it'll sound out a rather loud screech/scratching noise.


ANND, how can I lower my antenna? I never use my radio and I can't figure out how to lower it back down.

Scratching sound? Sounds like a throwout bearing slowly goin out to me but can you be a lil more specific. As for the squeaking is it coming from the trans area or around the pedal.

Myne Does That too... is That Arm That Comes out of The Trans Sopose to Move Around Easy. I can Move it up and down with my hand???

Mine has that squeaking sound when pushing the clutch pedal in, never looked into it, no problems for the 42k miles since I bought the car.

I also hear the sound of a rough bearing (throwout bearing I assume, but maybe input bearing) when idling in neutral, clutch pedal out. Again, no problems after 42k miles.

Mine also makes a whining/whirring sound thats especially noticeable when decelerating in first. Is that what you're describing?
Or maybe you could be slightly grinding 1st if you're trying to shift from 2nd while moving more than a few MPH, as it can be difficult (seems to be designed that way).

For the antenna did you ever think of turning your radio off. Or just push the antenna down manually.

Lube the pivot points under the dash.

my clutch pedal squeaks now and then all i do is spray wd40 on the clutch pedal spring and its gone

It could also be a sign of a failing clutch master cylinder. While you're lubing the under-dash pivot points, look for signs of leakage.

as for the antenna .. pushing it down manually may not work.. on my CB7 it doesnt work like that lol.. i'm gonna just replace it..

as for the aqueeking sounds.. i had that onmy other car ... Solara.. for about 2 yrs and 60k mi n never did anything it would go away n come back every now n then.. sumthing neesd to be lubed but nots ure what.. maybe the clutch fork??

throw out bearings usually make a sound when u let off the clutch n thecar is idling.. other than that it usually goes away when the clutch is depressed or if the rpms are higher
