Anyone getting a creaky sort of feedback from the pedal box in particular the clutch area? Not sure what it is but feels creaky all the same...??

V6 cable clutch i guess?

my V6 has a sort of creaky noise when pusing the clutch. thats due to the "strange" construction from tvr redfacen a normal car the pedal pulls the inner cable, but on a TVR its differnt: if you push the pedal the clutch cable mantle will get set under "pressure", the inner core of the cable is fixed somewhere underneath the dash by a stud and a nut.

this construction is on the early cars, was later changed to a "normal" design.

you can grease the pedal-shaft, the sleeve wich goes over the mantle, also the metal strip where the inner cable is placed on.

Surely that wouldn't be the most cost effective way to do it. Much better to buy a car where someone else has already done the work, at great expense wink

I should have mentioned that it feels as though the creak is coming from the bulkhead area of the pedal box - my clutch is hydraulic...
