Squeaky clutch noise fixed (car: Toyota Starlet)

DIY. How to fix a nasty squeaky clutch sound.
This is common problem on some hydralic cluth car.
I first though the terrible sound came from inside, from the cluth pedal or something. Wrong, it comes from where the slave cylinder and fork ( pivot ball )
. Everytime you press the clutch you here the squeaking. It kind of gets on your nerves. :-)
Car: Toyota Starlet EP91 from 1997
Using bearing grease. Most people us white grease. But I didnt have that. The grease must be heat resistant. Preferably Lithium based.

Time to fix it. This is how I did it.
Be careful so you dont get grease on your clutch though.

I just used your method had a brand new stage4 clutch fitted on my celica gt4 had the same problem removed the master cylinder from the gearbox along with the rubber grommet on the master cylinder pushed the piston back with my thumb lubed the whole inside of the cylinder with grease along with the clutch fork.. all sorted it feels brand new no more squeaks super smooth engagement thank you so much you saved me £££ ❤️

[@owenmerrick2377]

Thank you for this info! I just did the same job on my Toyota Echo, I used a small paint brush to work the grease into the pivot. The hardest part was putting the rubber boot back in. All quiet now!

good vid 👍

[@rightlanerider177]

Helped 👍🏽

[@d0rkiishchris]

My Subaru made the same noise. I removed the boot to the fork. Sprayed chain lubricant down to the pivot and noise instantly disappeared. Better than removing the transmission.

[@dekalogue]

thank you for making this

[@ScooterSimplicity]

Thanks for your support.

[@kgb0070]

Graxa branca spray , pelo furos da borracha de proteção , também resolve ! Fazem isso na concessionária !

[@alexx7910]

Nice!

Finally fork boot dust cover

[@davidbrathen2268]

Hei. Jeg har en 2000 mod corolla... Akuratt samme problem. Er den gummimansjetten mye jobb og få på plass etter at den er løsnet? Vurderer og bare spraye litt gjennom åpningen på mansjetten, men kan det altså da renne ned på clutchen?

[@ikhadji]

My honda element same nose, thanks

[@rakhistha]

Sir, is Hi-temp grease ok to apply..??

[@nokufandada6333]

If I use lubricant spray will it work instead of opening

[@avinciipan]

Very nice THANKS

[@MojeedSaka]

Could this be the same solution for 2012 Lexus is220

[@nokufandada6333]

I just started having that too

[@d0rkiishchris]

It would be very hard to get grease on the clutch. It is pretty much shielded by two large discs, you know what they are and are much larger than the clutch. Putting grease there would require you to put it on the wrong side of the fork. And even then it would be hard to do. Wouldn't worry too much about that.

[@ScooterSimplicity]

Okey, aha good to know.Still I am cautious.
The sound resently started to come back so did regrease it again, this time using a bit more grease, spraying with a small hose just the part that makes the most sound. Now it's quiet again.. :-)

[@louieanderson2847]

Thank you Christopher. Very useful comment.

[@Sakrich]

@@ScooterSimplicity Did you just spray in from the hole in the rubber boot? Maybe biltema's lithium grease spray?

[@biniammulugeta1085]

My Toyota corolla started same problem and I was wondering if I spray grease wouldn't be any problem on clutch

[@gehannilanga]

How about paddeling. Did this made paddeling easier...

[@waynes.2983]

when you pushed the release lever by hand you pushed it the wrong direction. Doubt you could move it the correct direction with your hand.

[@peachfuzz5053]

There is a hole on the rubber dust boot for greasing. removing this boot is not necessary.

[@jessjohn6157]

Peach Fuzz so what you just use a grease gun and squirt greese down there?

[@peachfuzz5053]

Correct. Toyota has a specific SST (Special Service Tool) that is meant just for doing that. The needle can be removed and replaced with a different shaped needle for squirting grease into the tiny hole on a brand new water pump as well.

[@syedshezu2284]

Thanks my Hyundai verna sound terrible but it is solve

[@ScooterSimplicity]

Glad it helped! :)

[@adokapo]

var det svårt att växla när den lät? Jag har samma problem på min Toyota men är också svårt växlad ibland speciellt när bilen är kall.

[@ScooterSimplicity]

Nej, inga problem att växla. Visst kan jag få koppla ur ibland för att få i backen, men det ser jag som normalt. Har jag fått göra på flera bilar.
Jag körde inte så länge med gnisslet innan jag åtgärda.

[@adokapo]

@@ScooterSimplicity Samma problem har. Är det lättare att sätta den i backen efter åtgärden?

[@ka0sud0ku98]

sounds exactly like mine

[@denzel387]

[@lltysonll]
