squeaking clutch pedal= bad TO bearing?

[Hayhurst]

Everytime i use my clutch pedal, right when i can first feel the clutch engage and right before it disengages, theres a loud squeaking but its not steady, and it happens at the same point whether i am engaging or disengaging the pedal. I just had my clutch replaced last summer and my clutch master cylinder replaced about 1 month ago both at a toyota dealer, being an aspiring toyota mechanic, i thought the throw out bearing was usually replaced along with the clutch, but my auto tech teacher (an ASE master tech) told me that its probably the throwout bearing. Has anyone else experienced this? Its the w58 transmission.

Yes, this bearing should be replaced along with the clutch.

Good chance this is the problem, though.

Clutch pedal is known to squeek...

Clutch fork might not have been greased (easy fix)...

My clutch squeeked when brand new when it grabbed (along with nearly taking my neck off because I wasn't used to it), but you have a W58 and there aren't many high performance clutches for em...

if your doing your clutch you might as well replace the throw out bearing for peace of mind.

you said its a squeak, i bet its your pedal mine is terrible, does it do it in neutral?

yes its a squeak, but i didnt do my clutch, it was during the summer and i had a toyota dealer do it as i didnt have access to the tool's i would need. It started after i had a leaky clutch master cylinder repaired at the same dealer, but not at first, and it got progressivly worse once it started.

And yes it does it in every gear, it doesnt seem to get any louder after driving, and i can hear it outside the car, it also seems a bit louder outside the car than inside.

Throwout bearing usually doesn't squeek like that. Usually a throwout bearing makes a ton of noise when the pedal is depressed and will continue to make noise if it's held down.

Betcha it's the pedal or the shift fork fulcrum (pivot).

yah outside the car in neutral, i would check out poodles advice.

 

[Hayhurst]

Cool, thx guys, ill check it out over the weekend and hopefully have it fixed by monday.

The squeaking did end up being the clutch fulcrum, just needed to be lubricated like poodles said, was an easy fix, hardest part was getting on the cold ground...

Nice to know!

Large cardboard box collapsed flat = insulation from cold ass pavement.

Yeah, the moving parts on the clutch should have been greased when it was serviced...
