Clutch pedal loud squeak

Were you still under warranty and did they provide you with a rental car free of charge if so?

I did some reading in these forums and found the threads relating to the throw out bearing being worn out etc. So I brought mine in to the dealership. I mentioned to my service rep that it may be the throw out bearing but I don't think he paid any attention to my suggestion. They called me back a few hours later and told me that it was fixed. Here is what they put on my report.

" Driveability Concern:
Clutch is making a loud squeaking noise. Pin-pointed noise to Slave Cylinder. Greased clutch slave cylinder and abnormal noise is not heard."

About 200-300 yards after driving off the lot I started to feel a physical "crunching" feeling when pushing the clutch all the way in. The squeaking noise came back in full force and it is actually more audible now. I'm dropping it off again this Friday.

This is my first full-time standard transmission daily driver. I don't think I "ride the clutch" either. So I can't see it being my fault with only 17,400 miles on it. Is it a whole day job for them to check the throwout bearing?

Update 1: I dropped my car off this morning and spoke with the mechanic who will be working on it. I told him about the throwout bearing issue that some people have and he said it can't be that because the noise is happening when the engine is turned off. I don't know the fine details on how those parts work so I don't know how true that is. He mentioned that someone else brought theirs in earlier this week with the same issue. He said that there is most likely some rust build up in the slave cylinder that needs to be greased. I'll post an update when I get my car back.

Under warranty. Came in with 35,4xx miles on the clock, lol. Honestly I think that would be under the 4/48 power train coverage, but it's still funny to think I slipped in with like 500 miles to go.

I got a rental for free, they had the car for about 6 days. I'll look for the paperwork and try to upload it if i can.

Update 2: I picked up my car from the dealership and they said that it was the Slave Solenoid connections that were causing the noise. I mis-quoted the tech in my earlier post. They removed the solenoid connections and greased them. I could not hear the sounds while I was in the parking lot but after I drove back to my house which is only 2 or 3 miles away it started making the same noise again... I'm not really sure what to do here... Oh and I also did a test and it makes the noise whether the engine is running or not. I feel like they are really trying to avoid breaking the clutch down to find the issue. Any suggestions?

It's your throwout bearing carrier binding/grinding against the transmission front cover. Print the image on this post and show it to your service dept.

I'm picking my car up today. I had the same issue, squeaky sounds from the clutch after its been warmed up. It also felt a bit crunchy (think wet rubber like) when fully pressed in.

They attributed the issue to the throw out bearing. I'll try to put more details once I get the receipt.

15K miles and I'm starting to feel a little rumble in my clutch pedal when the engine is running.

I'll crack it open soon. Pics to follow.

Here's my invoice. Drove 30miles home and it's perfect. Warranty covered everything.

Man, imma have to check my axle nuts.

Pretty sure my throw out bearing is causing my clutch to squeak as well. I already had both axle nuts replaced and turqued up. Which fixed all clicking sounds

Does a bear shit in the woods? Srsly, tho, it would probably be best to split it up. We're both eligible for warranty. I just can't handle the idea of someone else potentially half-assing the job.

My car has a cat less header, lowered, wheels, tuned.

I'm not too sure I want to deal with them haha. They refused to fix my clicking axles nuts because I was lowered ha


EDIT: They blamed the clicking noise on the lowering springs. I'm like wat...
