What Causes the Noise When Pressing the Clutch Pedal?

[AnaMarie]

The reasons for noise when pressing the clutch pedal are: 1. The clutch pedal return spring is too soft, detached, or broken; 2. The release bearing is damaged; 3. The release bearing return spring is loose or broken; 4. The driven plate damping spring is loose or broken; 5. Excessive clearance between the driven plate spline hole and the shaft; 6. The driven plate steel sheet is broken, shattered, or the rivet heads are exposed. The solutions for noise when pressing the clutch pedal are: 1. Remove the pedal, inspect, and apply grease; 2. Remove the slave cylinder push rod and manually push/pull the release fork to check flexibility; 3. Check if the pedal is deformed; 4. Inspect the pipeline between the slave cylinder and the air tank for blockages or leaks; 5. Replace the return spring and release bearing; 6. Check if the driven plate damping spring is loose or broken.
