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.Quote:

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!!!).
COuld be the clucth pedal spring... used to happen on commodore quite a bit... bit of Wurth HHS2000 squirted on it seemed to fix it
Could well be, I'll give that a go and see how I get on. Thanks.:)Quote:
