Hay Team.
I have noticed that when I depress my clutch as a quick sqeak come from under the car, Im assuminging something needs an oil/lube. What could it be.

Throw out bearing could possibly be the sound, not an item trhat can easily be "lubed" more likely replaced

Spigot bush perhaps? Are you sure it's not just the pedal or linkage that needs a skoosh of oil?

Bit of a hard one to try and work out. Could even be the clutch fork needing grease or as Tank said the Spigot bush too.

Yeah the relay pivot and thrust slide shaft.
Had, fixed this a few years back on old MK Pat.
Need pencil torch, or a small light you can put through hole to limit glare around hole.
Its always hard to see past outer edge of hole with a torch.
But if ya can get light inside only, now that's another story
and quality spray grease lithium or teflon based.
move arm dust boot out of the way.
carefully aim extended spray grease nozzle at thrust slide shaft and spray.
press a couple of times to spread grease.
Or keep fingers clear and get someone to depress and hold pedel and spray while depressed
you don't want grease on clutch so if ya can't see well your in a bit of trouble.
Maybe drill hole in bell housing in a position where you could see and try again.
Blanking grommet hole afterwards.
My attempt at this was successful, but I could see where I was spraying very well.
hope this helps.
update-- have done this to 3 different cars successfully
Cheers
