Or the pivot ball not the pivot fork my bad, Anyway i will start with the half assed method of trying to reach it with a brush first as dropping the trans is inconvenient and that won't happen till i get my JWT clutch and flywheel.

Did you miss this on the first page of this thread???
Get one of these.
Fix whatever is creaking AND greatly improve the feel of your clutch.

Can't recommend this piece highly enough :thumb up:
There are a couple of threads on the forum discussing it, multiple happy users.

Indeed I did see the first page of this thread, that is what spurred me to repost the link about the product and see what you guys had to say about it, sounds like i will be picking one up. I have nothing against the guy(s) at RJM but there is defiantly cherry picking that goes on when a manufacturer is picking reviews for their product, so i just wanted to get a 2nd opinion.

The RJM unit is amazing.
Like a different car. Clutch feels like the units in my Toyotas, which I always liked. Engages an inch off the floor, very linear, you CAN actually start the car from a stop WITHOUT touching the gas. No more jerky 1 to 2 shifts. BEST upgrade could've made to the car.
Looking into the company and guy who builds them it's really amazing. I used his story to show my kids how smart an engineer is. (my understanding is that the guy who designed this pedal is a mechanical engineer with a full time day job, and designed these clutch pedals in his spare time, and just changing the fulcrum points, etc. is how he achieved such a profound difference.
Not a shill for the company - just a VERY satisfied customer.
Install was pretty easy too, other than having to contort yourself under your dash. Took 1.5 to 2 hours taking my time in the garage with the stereo cranked.

Mine is starting to have this problem as well especially in the hotter months you can really start to feel it squeaking and theres a lot more resistance compared to cooler days. At first I thought it may be the clutch fluid thinning in the hotter temps causing it to not have enough strength to push the cylinder that is causing the issue. So I went on to bleed the clutch fluid and that didnt solve anything. Then went on to rebuild the slave cylinder and replaced master cylinder as well but still the issue was there. I'm completely stumped at this point. Would you say the last suspect is the throwout bearing or greasing the pivot ball? Clutch still seems really healthy and no slippage at all however.
