Clutch Noise...

[zerofailure]

im a little worried, every once and a while when i push the clutch down and shift and when i let off i hear this lil "errk" noise. its a soft noise though, it usually does it 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, rarely does it to 4th or 5th or 3rd to 4th. It also does it when i downshift, it only makes the soft squeak when im engaging the gear at that special "spot" i had the whole clutch replaced about a year ago. any idea what it could be??

Most likely the Clutch Master Cylinder is not fully disengaging the clutch.

Will be replacing mine within the next week, after having the clutch plate, disc and TOB replaced a couple of weeks ago. My similar noise did not go away, but got quieter.

Do you think i would need the whole new master cylinder? Is there any possibility that there could be air in the line? thanks for the reply

Mine made the same noise, but only when it was extremely cold outside during the winter months. I bled the clutch system, and the noise ceased completely.

well the noise seems like its gettin worse now. i bled the clutch system throughly and it didnt do nothing. But now i noticed if i just leave my car in neutral and i push the clutch in and rev it to 2500 RPM i get this grinding noise almost and im nowhere near a gear. What could this be?? My throughout bearing? and how can i go about fixing it?

please anyone?!?!

Throughout bearing, or weak slave or master. If you do go into the clutch - replace the slave with the 02 version.
