I started noticing my clutching making a squeaky/creaking noise a few days ago.
I thought it was just the pedal bushings needing some lube, but I found the creak is actually coming from the master cylinder. When I pulled back the rubber boot, it was pretty dirty with some brown crud all over. I cleaned it up and sprayed some silicon on it, but noise is still there.
Here's a picture before I cleaned it:
And a video.
You'll notice in the first 8 seconds, the master cylinder has virtually no resistance in the first 10-15% movement, then hits a wall. After pushing past that wall is when the creaking starts, you can hear it in the video.
Ignore the vibration sound, I got a text just as I was recording.
I have no problems changing gears right now btw.
