hey everyone my name is thomas and id like to say hi. I'm not new to celicas as i've had mine for a while but im definately new to forums in general. I made sure to cruise this site for a while before joining as to not ask any irritating questions, so hopefully i dont annoy anyone with this one. Lately, depressing the clutch pedal on my '99 gts elicits a creak from the tranny bellhousing. I imagine its my slave cylinder and have a clear shot at it when i remove the dust boot. I'm debating whether or not to try to lube up the assembly with a can of heavy chain lube. the only thing im paranoid about is soaking the clutch. This is a pretty common issue with stickshifts but i've never had to deal with it myself until now. tell me what you guys think the best solution is.

I would just like to say welcome and post some photos .

thank you, i will post pictures after i wax but it wont be anything special as its a stocker.

so no one here has any tips or advice regarding my clutch creak?

the fork probably wasn't/isn't greased up were it clips in, mine does the same thing

no big deal, some days when I push in the clutch pedal it sounds like an old floor

yea thats how mine was whenever the weather turned too hot or too cold. but this has become a constant issue recently and hasn't shown signs of leaving. should i risk trying to spay it with chain lubricant?

well the clutch creaked one to many times and i couldnt stand it any longer. the dust boot came off once again and i sprayed some no sling motor cycle chain lube in there. The quiet pedal returned my sanity and it was time to worry about the clutch itself. I must've had good aim since the car acts just fine.
this adventure was a big success. so anyone out there with the same problem go ahead and try some chain lube. just dont use too much as you dont want a puddle at the bottom of your bellhousing o.0
