clutch creaking and groaning (1 Viewer)

[Aravind Dileepan]

I have an H55F mated to a 2H. Lately, once the engine is a bit warm, the clutch pedal squeaks and groans when I depress and release it. I can feel and hear it at all points through the travel of the pedal.

I checked under the hood and the reservoir is full.

Does anyone have ideas what I should look for next?

Thanks,

Ara D.

You could maybe dab the pedal pivot points with a bit of grease. Also the clutch fork pivot ball would appreciate a dollop of grease

how old is the throw out bearing?

These are the parts of the pivot. If there was a plastic bushing in there that's FUBAR or gone, that may be the culprit.

Could be the plastic bushing in the piviot point of your clutch peddle is worn out or dry like @OSS said some grease in there would help eliminate that. If you do need new bushings this is the part number 90386-13007
From here. Some info saved

I have no idea when/if the clutch was ever serviced. I haven't done anything since I bought it two years ago.

I'll take a look at those bushings and go from there.

Thanks.

Have a friend depress the pedal while you crawl under the truck and listen. I thought mine was in the pedal, and master clutch cylinder. But it is a noise inside the clutch housing.

Forgive my thickness, but without taking the pedal apart at the pivot, how do you actually get grease into the joint? I have a tub of regular black axle grease and I could smear it on with my finger, but that doesn't seem like it would last very long.

Agreed, Take the pin out and check the bushings. Especially if it sounds like its coming from there.

I had this experience last weekend, creeking and metal noise. Clutch was slightly rough at start of pressure. Cleaned parts, lubed n lightly greased. Now smooth again.
