'95 Squeaky Clutch Pedal

For as long as I can remember the clutch pedal on my '95 F-150 has squeaked horribly when I let it out, it never makes a sound when I push it in. I've tried more than once to attack this problem with WD40 but haven't had any luck.

Is this just a flaw in the design, or is there somewhere in particular I can put WD40, or perhaps a thicker grease to take care of this problem?

It's very obviously in the cab in the pedal mechanism. I'll give some lithium grease a shot!

So I was going to try this today. I would have sworn I had something a can of lithium grease. One more thing to put on my Wal-Mart list.

Mine's done the same thing for 150,000 miles. I used the radio volume fix.

Yeah, the only problem there is that the whole 3 radio stations around here that I can stand to listen to all decide to do their seemingly endless commercial breaks at the same time!

Ok, so I decide to stop by Wal-Mart on my way in to work and get a can of white lithium grease. Ironically enough I got in the truck and the pedal didn't squeak this morning. The stupid thing squeaks every day for nearly two years until I decide to do something about it and then it magically stops.

I still stopped by Wal-Mart, bought grease and sprayed the hell out of the whole mechanism so maybe it won't squeak this afternoon!

May need new bushings. Check it, becuase if you wait too long like I did, the pedal assembly itself will wear down and you will end up getting a new set of pedals. Not too cheap when installed by the dealer.

May be, it's still squeaking. I'm gonna have to do some closer investigating with some better light.

I had this problem and finally solved it.

There are TWO major moving clutch parts under the dash. The spring attached to the main clutch pedal might be squeaky, but there is also a linkage that goes up into the dash, comes down on the RIGHT side of the gas pedal, and goes through the firewall into the engine compartment.

I oiled the visible part of the right side linkage and the squeak is gone.
