Sorry if this sounds paranoid, but I just taught two of my friends how to drive stick shift in my car and doing that always makes me nervous about my clutch, even though it seems to be working totally normally.

Ok, this is a simple question, but if the car is completely stopped and shut off and you depress and release the clutch pedal, is a squeak/slight groan coming from underneath the car normal? To be honest, I'm pretty sure the car has made this sound for as long as I have been driving it, but I guess I never really noticed it until I started being paranoid about clutch wear a few days ago. I just want some comforting from you guys! lol

It is also worth noting that I do not hear this sound or any other unusual sounds, nor feel anything unusual when the car is running or driving.

Thanks in advance!

It is possible where the slave cylinder and clutch fork meet(ball and socket) is dry causing the noise. I had the same noise on mine and put a little bit of silicone grease in there and it went away.

 

Should I be worried?

 

No not at all.

 

I thought so, but I just wanted to check first. It's better to be safe rather than sorry!

Thanks!

 

Don't be worried, just lube it.
