2022 BRZ Clutch Squeak/Creak

[diga]

slave cylinder - I do not think the squeak is coming from here but can easily be heard, I did grease inside the dust boot with caliper grease - dealer said they did as well. Did not eliminate the creaking.

from inside - the dealership replaced the pedal assembly at 16K miles, noise still happening. Returned to dealership for follow up (and oil change) at 17K, they're saying the pedal assembly is defective, ordering another one. I asked if they lubed the clutch fork/throw out bearing, was told no they did not. I'll ask them if they can do that when I bring it back for the 2nd pedal assembly replacement.
This only starts happening after the engine is fully warmed up, oil temp in 210 range, ambient temp above 80.
(yes, I'm a woman, excuse the work footwear!)
Looking for guidance in how to communicate effectively with dealership to get this resolved. Or have a plan to handle this as regular maintenance.

My 2017 does this. Always has. Same thing - seems to be fine when everything is cool, but you hear it when it's hot out and you've been driving a bit.

I've tried greasing the clutch spring down by the pedal and the same thing you did at the fork. Either I'm not doing it right, or it comes right back.

It's a bit annoying and makes the car feel cheaper, but it's not harmful and nothing is really wrong. It is 100% a common issue though.

I haven't tried the fork/TOB yet, I've seen a video of someone using sticky red grease on a brush, pulling back the dust boot on the fork and getting it down into where the fork meets the TOB. My warranty is done Oct 30 so I'm trying to get dealer to take care of it but if they don't I'll try it myself. It's annoying, especially since the car only has 17K miles, but mainly want to get it taken care of in case I need to sell it in the near future (I LOVE this car but might have to relocate to wintery climate and can't afford to have 2 cars).

I had that in my 2013 FRS until one day the clutch pedal suddenly went right to the floor. Turns out the post on which the clutch fork rests is subject to excessive wear and it just broke off. My mechanic found a superior aftermarket pivot post and installed it. No more problems. I had previously replaced the clutch and had to use an upgraded fork because the OEM fork was bent. Since I don't abuse the clutch in my cars, I suspect that the OEM parts were less than robust.
