Clutch squels when put down ? Anyone know why ?
When I drop my clutch down to go into my gear the clutch makes a squeling noise. Now I know this usually happens when let out but this problem is when I push it in . Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.

It could be the throw out bearing. If you just lightly push the pedal does it squeal?? Probably time to put in a new throw out bearing.

It probably is the throwout bearing. That means you gotta drop the tranny if it is. Good luck man!

No no no! The part is like $20 but the labor will kill you unless you do it yourself. It requires dropping the tranny and replacing a bearing, once you drop the tranny it's a fast install.

Wouldn't test it too much. You could be the one who winds up getting towed home. Or if you live in the country, "STUCK"
