Creekey clutch

[ph1l5]

I have a "creekey clutch" which means when I press it in it makes a creekey noise, is there anything that needs replacing or greasing up. the clutch itself is new 2 years ago, the clutch slave cylinder was new 2 years ago as with the fluid. Does the clutch cable need replacing ?

There is no clutch cable as its hydraulic.

Its probably the return spring.

cool where do I find this spring and can it be sprayed with some WD40 or will I need to replace it ?

mine does the same and has done for a couple of years, have greased it up at the service but it always returns a few months later especially when its hot, would be interested to know if its exceptable.

Not looked but assume it will be down by the pedal.

Mine creaks but I don't notice it over the exhaust note most of the time

Underneath the gearbox you should find a large hole, in this you should see an actuating arm which pivots on a ball. This ball gets very dry and can rub through the arm, it's aways a good idea to keep it greased with high temp grease or copper slip. This stops the creaking and seems to make the clutch work smoother. This is just my opinion with what I found on my Chimaera.

I have the same problem. Removed the slave cylinder and checked the clutch fork from the inspection hole and it seems to be fine. Recently noticed that the noise is getting worse and seems to be coming from the pedal area. Tried lubricating around the pedal but this hasn't helped. not sure what to look at next, but probably remove the master cylinder cover and check there. Any other suggestions?
