Very new 2018 BRZ, does this sound like a bad TOB?
Hi all,
I have a 2018 BRZ with 22k miles, was made in March of 2018, so I am not sure if it has the (supposedly not a hoax) revised TOB. Anyway, just today, while driving around town, I realized that upon pressing and releasing the clutch pedal, there was a noticeable squeaking noise. No abnormal sounds when fully pressed in or fully released. I am pretty good about never leaving my car in gear at the light (I always go into neutral and engage the clutch). Does this sound like a bad TOB? Or just parts of the clutch pedal pivoting assembly that needs some lubrication? Should I just schedule an appointment with a dealership? |

However, you may wish to investigate the possibility that the clutch fork is dry and squeaking. Quick & dirty: from @Ultramaroon 1. Detach the slave cylinder. Leave the hydraulics alone. 2. Remove the dust boot from the fork. 3. Reach down behind the fork with a finger and feel for the pivot. It's going to be tight because of the retaining clip. 4. Squeeze a decent glob of Lucas Red & Tacky #2 in there with your finger. 5. Jiggle the fork to distribute the grease as much as possible. It'll work in more on its own. 6. Put a dab of grease in the top pivot where the slave pin goes. 7. Reassemble. humfrz |
