Squeaky manual clutch spring

GregW / Oregon · 08-20-2012, 03:47 PM

My clutch makes a squeaking spring sound, from the return spring, I assume. Anyone have this? I'm assuming I can just spray a little lubricant on it. 42k miles

I remember when I had my Z3 M Coupe the clutch pedal would squeak -- it wasn't from the spring though, it was from the bushings. Not sure if E9x's use the same set of bushings (wouldn't surprise me if they did).

I ended up getting something like this

Ron Stygar (for those who remember him) had a writeup on it too
