Is that a mouse in your pocket!?

So a few days ago my clutch petal starts to squeak when engaged, like a mouse.. it's driving me nuts now.. I'm assuming just spray some WD40 in and around where the clutch goes thru the firewall?

No! Dont do that! The WD-40 will eat a hole in the firewall!

Of course you can use that, just get something to cover your carpet so it doesnt get into it. Unless you enjoy your little mouse.

Actually no just take it to the dealer and have them switch it out, I was having an issue that my clutch pedal was getting stuck n I guess with the 2012 models there was a recall on some cause but I don't know exactly what it was called but I just got mine replaced n man does it feel so good with a new clutch but hey WD-40 works too

If I were to lubricate it, it would be with some white lithium grease, not WD-40.

It's probably the neutral safety switch. Especially if it squeaks when during the last inch or so of travel.

Umm yea do not use WD-40. It is actually a very poor lubricant. But it does displace water very well so you can put good lubricant on. Hence the WD(Water displacement). If you ever want to rip the bearings out of something wheels ,casters just put WD-40 on it it will do it. Is a great product just widely misused.

First I heard about the clutch pedal squeak problem I have it 2012 so I'll keep an eye out for that rodent.
