Default VIDEO of my clutch squeak...anyone else?

So I have a 2003.5 G35 coupe and the clutch has been squeaking for about the last 5,000 miles. Prior to that, the squeaks would come and then go with no predictable pattern. I have about 50,000 miles and still on original clutch. The squeak comes from outside the car.

Anyone else have something like this? Any ideas on what I can do to fix it?

Default Clutch Squeak

There are a bunch of us with this problem, and from reading what everyone else has written about the problem it is normal from the 2003-2007 all od the "Z" cars have it. I don't know if there is anything we can do to fix it or not.

it sounds like its just the clutch pedal. find the swivel points for the pedal and put some grease on it. you might as well grease the whole system while your at it. it should go away.

I get this same sqweeky sound usually on rainy days but not always. It will go away and come back. I would not worry about it.

Easy, simple solution: get one with an AT! Flawless, reliable, and only 1 MPG
less than the MT's!!!

I had an MR2 that did this too. I know its a terrible thing to listen to, but I dont think there is anything wrong with it.

Like some one had mentioned earlier, (its been some time) but I just lubed everything up down around the pedal and the sound pretty much went away

It's annoying. There are so many threads about this but not one solution yet. Covering the clutch pedal with grease isn't going to help with sounds that are coming from outside the car.
