the spring on my clutch pedal gives a springy squeak every time i use it. it is a bit embarrasing as it reminds me of the springs on an old mattress
anyone else have a squeaky pedal? any ideas for remedy? thx

I'm sure greasing the spring helps

I've also noticed this one...
Seems like a bit of grease will do the trick then.

Hey guys, my clutch spring has started squeeking this morning ( prolly due to the cold i suppose ) - is the spring visible when you can squeeze yourself into the footwell?
Im presuming its obvious what spring to lubricate? sorry if this sounds silly but im no mechanic!! Wouldnt want to slap some grease / wd40 on the wrong thing!
Thanks
Adam
