I have a squeaking noise when I fully depress my clutch, and when I just release. The noise is actually coming from outside of the cabin. The clutch pedal and clutch master cylinder were just replaced due to a different squeak, and fluid seepage.

Based on some searching, the noise could be the slave cylinder rod may need to be lubricated, where it makes contact with the transmission.

I have two questions regarding this:

1. Can the tip of the slave cylinder rod be lubricated without unbolting it from the transmission? (Unbolting the slave in the 8 looks like tons of fun)

2. What grease should be used for this application?

Thank you all.

What did you end up using to get rid of the creak? I'm having the same issue.

 

Yea I have the same problem as well, especially after rain/any water. Originallly I thought it was the pedal assembly, but that snapped and was replaced under warranty. It still squeaks every once in awhile too.

 

Ok, I figured out my issue. A little bit of white lithium grease onto the connecting rod helped alon with a few squirts down into the transmission. Don't ask me what it actually lubricated but the sound is finally gone.
