Clutch Noise Problem
Awhile back I posted a topic about my 2000 Civic Si's chirping sound:
"My 2000 Civic Si is makes a squeaking/chirping noise when the engine is running. I can make the noise go away by putting a very small amount of weight on the clutch pedal. I can also make the noise go away if I gently push in on the boot that covers the joint between the clutch slave cylinder and the clutch fork." I was pointed to a link (http://www.hondasuv.com/stg/viewtopi...349&highlight=) that covers re-greasing the clutch fork. I attempted this fix yeserday, and found that at least on my civic, re-greasing the ends of the release fork where it meets the release bearing is nearly "impossible" without a really really long syringe. I had a pediatric spinal tap needle and it wasn't even close. I'm not sure the syringe in the above tutorial would have been long enough. I also tried wire but there just isn't enough room in there to carefully get the wire/grease where it needs to go. That is the bad news. The good news is that re-greasing the portion of the release fork that meets up with the slave cylinder piston head seems to have removed the chirping noise. That was super easy to do. So for those of you with a similar problem, take the easy route and don't worry about greasing the point where the fork meets the release bearing--just wait until you have to pull the transmission for a clutch or whatever. I hope this update helps someone else. |
