Clutch Pedal Noise
(Supersedes 98-084, dated October 7, 2003)
SYMPTOM
A squeak or groan when you press the clutch pedal. The pedal may also feel notchy as it travels. This noise usually happens in warm weather.
PROBABLE CAUSE
The walls of the nylon clutch master cylinder are rough, causing excessive friction on the piston.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace the clutch hydraulic system (clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, damper tube, and related parts).
PARTS INFORMATION

damper tube, and related parts. Later, these kits were discontinued and the kit parts made separately available. The replacement parts currently in stock
are for the aluminum-bodied system only and are not compatible with the original system. To complete this repair, you must order and install all of these
parts:
