I added some moly wheel bearing grease in the boot because thats all I had around then put it back. No more squeaks for me after this.

It's a hydraulic ram and should not be lubricated that way. Disassemble, clean, inspect, and if not scored, reassemble. The only thing that should touch the inside is brake fluid. Anything else is contamination.

Subaru had my car for 7 hours (10am-5pm) and they say that they have fixed the issue. The cause of the squeaking was the throwout bearing. I'm picking up my car in the morning...so I'll let you all know if they actually fixed the issue.

EDIT: Got my car back today. Issue appears to be gone. Throwout bearing was causing the issue.

So... this weird squeak appeared out of the blue two days ago. Only does it on decltuching, not on the way back. If anyone wants to weigh in on where it could come from, it'd be much appreciated!

I have done the slave cylinder swap last month, if it's of any relevance.

While you film the master cylinder outside, can you have someone else inside with the door closed push the clutch ?

What fluid did you use? Was it damp or raining at all when you changed it?

Same issue I have, a squeak with resistance/ crunch at the end of pedal travel. This really should be a TSB for replacing the clutch assembly , throwout bearing or whatever is causing this.

Crunch and resistance is different. Yours is that transmission end cover that gets all gouged up. Warranty for you. Don't wait.

The slave cylinder swapped was done indoors at the dealers (it was a raining though), the fluid is Motul's RBF600.

Since I shot the video, the sound came and went a few times. I haven't noticed a clear pattern of the conditions for it to appear yet. I did spray some WD40 on the slave cylinder rod. We'll see.

Fortunately, wd40 is not really a lubricant as much as a penetrant and drying agent. It will evaporate.

The end of the slave cylinder rod at the clutch fork should have a small dab of grease. There should be nothing under the boot.

Im going in today for the same sound in the video. Im just hopeing they fix it under warranty, im at 22k miles.

I had mine in for this and the dealer said nothing wrong no service performed. When I brought the car in I had the adviser sit in the car and push the clutch in and he said woah, that's ugly huh. When I picked the car up and he said they test drove it and found nothing and they didn't do anything but kept the car for two days so I mentioned what he said and then "I never heard any noise of any sort, don't put words in my mouth." BULLSHIT! I was so proud of myself for not going over the counter.

Who do I contact at SOA to take it to the next level?

Noticed mine squeaked. I'm at 19,171 miles. Took it to the dealership today, waited an hour and a half to be told they'll call me tomorrow because they have to call tech support about the issue.

The adviser said they did a 2014 model (I told them I assume it was the Throw-out Bearing) and it still had the issue. So they're going to call tech to see if there is a "new" solution.

TBH I'd be happy if they replace the whole clutch system, or at least the throw out bearing to know I at least tried to fix the problem.

Mine came back after almost a year. Lubing the clutch fork did the trick the first time, so I'm probably going to try the same thing this time.

* I had this same exact issue

What do you tell the dealer to show that it's covered under warranty. Is the clutch exempt or is it covered under the basic warranty? How do you diagnosis if it's a bad throw out bearing versus just a dry clutch fork? Can the clutch fork only be lubed if tranny is taking off?Thanks in advance.
