Hey guys. Lately ive been noticing a squicking sort of slight grinding noise when depressing the clutch. It is most prominant during first and second gear changes. Do you guys get this too? is this a warning symptom for anything serious?

Does the pedel feel any diffrent when you hear/feel this?

Yep its getting a little resistance.. It happens when i am almost fully depressing the clutch.. hence why 2nd to 3rd and so on gear changes dont make this sound.. Any Ideas? Could it just need lubrication? i know my 50k service is coming up in 500km..

Checked your fluid level?

Flush your clutch and see if the problem still occurs.

checked fluid level and it seems fine. Will have to flush the clutch.. Could it be anything else? could it be due to riding the clutch? im thinking more towards lubrication and i hope i am right...

Might try lubing the pull fork too. Pretty easy job from under the car.

I had a similar problem, where the clutch pedal felt a little resistance just off the floor, and occasionally made a squeaking noise.

It ended up being the release fork. Regreasing of this solved the problem.
The local mechanic who knows about S2000's regreased the fork, and I got him to change the fluid also. I think it was about $55 in total.

Aus, what do you lube the pull fork with?

I need to do mine.

KY, whoops, wrong thread.

I use Molybdenum Grease. I have a pot of it here I use for all sorts of assembly.

You can get it at any auto shop such as Supercheap.
