Cluch pedal 'feel'?

ViperPilot24 · December 7th, 2010, 10:58 AM

Don't know if this is normal or just my own pet peeve...but lately it seems that when I push in on my clutch pedal it "feels" like a slight ....I don't want to say hesitation, because it moves in and out freely...but just kinda "feels" like a minor squeek. Nothing audiable, just kinda a feeling in the pedal when i push in and let off. I dont supposes your supposed to lube those or use some sort of machine greese on the pedal arm are you? I kinda feel stupid asking this, but just wanted to check and see If I am just going crazy or not.

Stock clutch? How many miles?

ReverendDexter · December 7th, 2010, 11:34 AM

Might need to hit the clutch cable with some graphite, or the pivot with some teflon spray.

I'll echo the "how many miles"; it may be time to replace the clutch cable. If so, it's probably a good time to upgrade to an aluminum quadrant and firewall adjuster while you're in there.

is got about 50K miles. Stock everything. Ill look into the cluch cable lube via graphite.

goren813 · December 7th, 2010, 11:01 PM

Yeah, shouldn't need to be replacing anything yet.

My stock clutch lasted to 100+K and I am still using the stock everything else.

I dont think it is goin out or anything. I think somone may be right about lubing it or the pivot joint. I just need to climb down there today and take a look, as Ive never looked into that area really before. I have also been thinking about gettin a pedal set, saw some pretty cool lookin ones in autozone.

I wouldn't get the pedal covers at autozone. The way they mount to the pedals is really janky and can interfere with pedal travel. Try to at least get covers that slip on like the factory units.

I've got the bullit pedals and love them, replace factory pedals.

ReverendDexter · December 8th, 2010, 01:15 PM

Yeah, those are what I had and I really liked them, once I got them on. Installation was a pain in the ass, but fitment was perfect and I never had any issue with them coming off or anything.

Yea i wasn''t looking at 'covers' but actual replacements.
