Default Sqeaky Cluth Pedal

When I push my clutch pedal in it will sqeak until I have driven the car for around 10 minutes and then the sqeaking will stop. Is there anywhere I can grease or spray WD-40 into because it is getting annoying. my car is a 98 ex with almost 70k miles

Thanx
Matt

Same problem here. I think it's in the pedal assembly because I've lubed up the slave cylinder arm and it still squeaks.

I'd like some info on this too.

I bet all of the squeaky clutch pedals have miles on them... Go here...

Get parts # 20, 30... i think.

:rant:
geez... it's so hard to tell by this image... this is why I f*cking hate hondaautomotiveparts.com and want the real parts counter software. If this is freely available on the internet, why the F#C% isn't the parts counter software available? Same difference, right?!?!! WTF?

Anyway, take the pin out of the arm on the clutch slave cylinder. Look at the bracket or hole that it goes through. Chances are it's worn into an oval shape, or the bushings are worn. Especially likely on cars with miles, or for people who have ACT clutches. Replace the worn parts and the squeaking will go away until you wear out the new parts again. The link above is for a 97 2-door DX.

I had to rebuild the clutch pedal assembly on my GSX after installing a 2600lb pressure plate. I also had to replace my master cylinder less than 500 miles later because it couldn't hold up to that much pressure and leaked everywhere... but my pedal squeaked so bad before I did it that you could hear it from inside other people's cars in rush hour traffic.

A long time ago, my 86 crx clutch pedal squeaked. After about a year or so of it squeaking, the clutch cable mounting bracket broke from the firewall. It was actually the firewall and bracket, that held the clutch cable, moving back and fourth fixing to break that caused my squeaking. No amount of wd-40 would've fixed my problem. Your sqeaking may be caused by something else though. Just letting you know a possibility.
