Creaky clutch pedal?
Any of you MT owners experiencing this?:
Clutch pedal upon take up feels like it's creaking, but there's no creaky sound. It only happens while the engine is on and you're in gear. The lower the gear the more you feel it.
It's starting to get annoying.

I have a manual, but don't have this issue. I only have 2600 miles on mine, though, and having owned manual Hondas in the past, I know it's only a matter of time. Check the pivot point on the clutch assembly and make sure it's not all dried up.

Does checking the pivot point require disassembly of anything or just squeezing yourself down by the pedals?
My 08 Accord also had this problem. The dealer told me it's coz it's a high performance clutch and a lot of power. Bull crap. Now my Fit has it. I can't be the only one!!!! Help!

Honestly I'm not sure on the Fit assembly, but it usually only requires squeezing under the dash with a good flashlight.

If I'm the only one on Earth experiencing this on my last 2 Hondas, I either have a super sensitive left foot, or I should play the lottery. Or both.

^forget the lotto..hit up vegas! haha.
how many miles do you have on your car? does it happen EVERY time or just randomly? if it happens pretty consistently, then have the dealer check it next time you're there. Sierra does a pretty good job at diagnosing. but im pretty sure you're fine. no leaks anywhere right?

Thanks, I'll try that. But just FYI, this has been an intermittent thing. It was strong when it was months old, disappeared, came back mildly, and now back to strong.

mine did this like a few months after a i owned it, and it did it for about 1 month, now its not there anymore.. idk what causes this.. but it seems to occur when its like humid outside.. but iam not 100% positive.
i haven't had this problem in months.. its like it slowly went away, at first it was kinda embarrising cuz it was like a new car and people are like "whats that squeeky sound?"

Well, it's nice to know I'm not the only one.

That is a huge coincidence!
I am having the same problem and it just happened today! Mine does have a creaky sound to it though. It happens when I am slowly releasing the clutch but not when I do it fast. In my case it has nothing to do with the climate. The climate here is pretty constant.

Ok now wait a minute...as I stated in my first post, this trait ONLY happens while IN GEAR while you're MOVING. It does not occur while idling or the engine is off.
So does lubing that pivot point still make sense? Does this point to something more internal?

Next thing in is the clutch master cylinder. Pedal pushes a rod that goes directly into the master cylinder.
In gear and moving, as when you're in second and shifting to third you depress the clutch, shift and when you release the clutch you hear the noise. If it's coming from inside the cabin it's most likely pedal related.
