Creaking clutch fix...

[Rob Daman]

For all you 6MT guys out there that is experiencing a noisy/creaking clutch, the fix is to yank the pin at the pedal and cover it in grease. They can't just get some spray in there. It must be removed and greased up.

Mine went away in time.

Mine stayed. The grease would thin out on a warm day and start creaking again. I was able to replicate by turning on the heat and venting toward the floor

Mine went away in time.

Rob Daman any pics of the process?

 

[Rob Daman]

No. I had the dealer do it under warranty.

I think when the creak returns then I'll probably douse it with the slickest stuff I can find

Rob Daman any pics of the process?

Good info! I don't have a creaky pedal but that doesn't mean it won't start sometime down the road.

Do you have any pics of this pin you're referring to? Or at least it's location?

 

[Rob Daman]

It's a matter of when not if.

It's an issue since 2nd gen and since manuals are a minority Toyota won't really care.

No pic not it's basically the pin that holds the clutch pedal to the chassis.

They tried just spraying it with a straw but didn't work.
