[Killa]

When I press the clutch, and let it up slowly it start make a creak sound, like It need lubricate or something, any one have any ideal, no problem with clutch, just dont like the creak sound. Thanks

Lubricate all the pivot points maybe? Might as well, it can't hurt anything.

What I need to use, to lubricate it ?

Mine did this too and I used a little wd-40 on the pivot points and moved them with my hand as I sprayed them. It worked good.

WD-40 is a good dust magnet IMHO. The dust gets in a wears things out over time.

White lithium grease, or graphite would be good.

Uh oh... lol

Perhaps I should clean it all outta there and use something else then?

We stopped using it at the mill, because of that very reason. It is too thin to block out dust and grit. Grit+moving parts= It would probably take a long time being on the interior of the car but still..............

What about axle grease? Would it be better to use on the hinges and such?

Yeah, that would be fine I hate the smell though. Try to get everything clean before you put it on.

Sweet, thanks for the info on the wd-40 too. That also solves my hood spring problem on the Firebird. lol

[gthompson97]

For something like that I would use a dry graphite. The make stuff in a spray can called DGF, it's a white aeresol can with red writing. Probably for your hinges too Brian

Well its not for the hinges on the Firebird. See, anytime I try to pop the hood it won't pop at all because the hood latch and spring assembly isn't lubed right or something. I would use wd-40 and work it for a while and it would be good for about a week. But yeah, I'll look into that stuff too. lol

**EDIT**
The sad part is, this was killers thread and I think I accidently hijacked it.

Yeah, I mentioned that above, I use graphite on the door hinges of my truck. I just figured he had an excess of axle grease laying around or something and wanted to use it on something. lol

Axle grease on a clutch pivot point?? I suppose it would work, but that's definitely a first for me.
