Noisy clutch pedal

[BigMav]

Anyone experienced a noisy clutch pedal on their GQ when its depressed. Like a kind of clicking noise coming through the pedal arm itself. I've sprayed the whole area with lubricant and it didn't do anything. Its annoying as all hell. Help!

Not I, touch wood! Intrigued though.

A worn thrust bearing maybe ?

From time to time I do..... Its the pin that holds the push rod clicking in & out of the groove its warn in itself over use.

Opposite mate I get an intermittent knocking sound that goes away with either slight pressure on the pedal or full depression and slowly release and it stops. Tho will return at the next set of lights

growlers, I reckon that could be the thrust/throwout bearing slopping about on the shaft

My MQ did it for years - mechanic mate said not to worry about it, so I didn't. Mind you, I wasn't taking it into the desert etc - just Fraser and Moreton Islands etc. Now, I don't know enough to say that is what the cause of yours is, or whether you can or should safely ignore it - but it did work for me

This sounds interesting, going to have to take a closer look, mine was doing it only on occasion but seems to be doing it all the time now, its not the thrust bearing the noise is definitely coming from the clutch arm somewhere so my money is on that pin. Cheers.

Wadda they say ignorance is bliss :-) I'm gunna ignore it for now

Well had a quick look this morning and that pin seems ok. I will have a bit more of a fiddle with it and maybe slap some grease on it or something. I can't be stuffed doing it right at this moment its been a long day. lol.

[BigMav]

Greased up that pin and it seems to have helped it a little bit but still clicking. I think I need to have a look at another GQ to compare pins. Maybe the clutch master cylinder is stuffed?

My clutch feels like it's creaking so not similar, but thinking that might be the master cylinder? Not a lot of experience with clutches on cars (one of the parts where bikes are so much easier!!!).
