I have noticed something new this last week. When I begin to accelerate and let off the clutch normally I will hear a squeak, like a short chirp of a birp below the car. My clutch does not seem to be slipping and I do not smell anything like a burninig clutch but this happens most of the time now. Any ideas on what this might be? '96 DX w/ 173,000 miles

 

Try depressing your clutch pedal while the vehicle is off. If you hear the squeak while depressing the pedal then this problem is probably your throw out bearing. If you still have stock clutch with high milage this would be normal wear.

 

another thing to consider is the pivot point to the t/o bearing fork.....those tend to squeek when the grease dries out.

 

i have that same problem & it does squeak when the car if off...

throw out bearing huh? Don't even know what that is....should I replace it???

oh yea, 1997 civic, 110000

 

same problem 90 dx 135000

 

Thanks, I will check it out.

 

I two have a squeaky clutch. Should i replace or get the thing greased???

1998 Illiusion 51000

 

i wouldnt bother greaseing it. sence you would have to remove the tranny to do that. might as well replace the clutch, make sure the new one comes with a pilot and throwout bearing. some kits dont.
