Very loud squeaky clutch noise
Hi All,
this is my first post since buying my 350Z so I'm hoping there is someone who has some more experience working with these clutches.
I have a stock 06 360z with about 100k miles on it, I've barely driven it since owning it but one day on my drive home from work about a mile before home my clutch pedal started feeling soft(changing gears still worked fine). I went on holiday the day after so I didn't have time to look at it then and just assumed maybe one of the cylinders is on their way out and will take care of it later.
Once I got back I started investigating and noticed that there is a very loud squeaky noise coming from under the car. The clutch fluid reservoir was still full so there is no leak in the system, I check the master and the slave and all seemed fine.
When taking the slave off the clutch is fine, there is no noise or anything.
The noise is definitely coming from the transmission housing but is not very typical for a throwout bearing (at least not to my knowledge as that would sound a lot more like grinding).
The next step is taking the clutch apart and if I already take it all apart I might replace the whole clutch but I'd hate to take it all apart, replace the clutch, just to find out that's not the issue.
I've greased the fork as well, just in case, however given that I have a loss of pressure as well that was always a long shot.
I've taken a video of it so hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction
