I used some silicone spray on the pivot points under the dash and presto. Its been over a year and all is quit. If that didnt work I was going to give it a finger full of Permatex anti seize grease.

I give it a good shot of silicone spray every few months when I lube up the door hinges too.

I tried white lithium grease in a spray can and it must not be thin enough to run down into the right places! Wish I read this thread before I coated everything around the pedals!!!

My buddy just had his hydraulic assembly replaced on his 98, and that took care of his squeaking too. So if spraying everything up doesn't help, it may just be the master cyl. making noise.

We used silcone spray on the cable and housing on his 99, that took care of his issue.

The real fix is to pull the shaft that the clutch and brake pedals pivot on. The nylon bushings are probably worn or at least dry. I tried different types of spray lubes, etc. and didn't cure mine until I finally pulled it all apart, cleaned out the old dry grease, and coated everything with a thin layer of synthetic grease before reassembly.



If you do end up taking it apart, be forewarned that it is somewhat of a pain, and it doesn't come apart exactly like the factory service manual says (at least mine didn't). It would make sense just to put new bushings in when you do it.



I can give you more info if you want. Hopefully you can find a good spray lube that will take care of the problem for more than a couple weeks/months.

I had the same experience as CTD12V. It is a pain because its up in there where you can hardly get at stuff. My bushings were ok, they just needed to be lubed up.
