Anyone know what might cause a clutch to squeak upon release? It seems to only occur after it's rained. Release bearing maybe?

Put a little pressure on the pedal. If the sound goes away, it's the throwout bearing.

Do you mean just push down lightly and if it doesn't squeak it's the throwout bearing?

Yep.

Sorry for being a little slow. No matter how lightly I depress the clutch it squeaks after the clutch is depressed about 2". The squeak continues until the pedal's just over half way depressed and ceases. The squeak happens again in the same "spot" upon release. So, if I'm following along correctly that means it's not the throwout bearing?

No, it is. When you put pressure on bearing, i.e. push the pedal down, it stops spinning and the squeak will go away. Sometimes it takes a little pressure, sometimes it takes full pedal travel. It's a very common issue. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If it starts to go out, you'll definitely feel it in the pedal. Just be careful though because once you feel more drag on the pedal, the bearing is about to fail and it will do so very quickly.

This should occur when the engine is shut off as well, correct? Thanks for the info Ryan, I've been reading around trying to figure out what it might be and couldn't find a clear answer.

No. If the engine is not turning, the trans shaft won't be turning and the throwout bearing will be stationary. What vehicle is it?

That's strange. The noise occurs when the engine isn't on. Vehicle is a 2002 Nissan Altima. The noise only occurs as the pedal is being engaged. The pedal has to be in motion for the squeak to happen. It's like a squeaky hinge on a door, while you're moving it there's a squeak. It won't squeak on its own while I'm in neutral or if I hold the clutch in partially at a steady point.

So the pedal is squeaking? If it was the throwout bearing it would be more like a whine, but could only happen with the vehicle running. If it's just the pedal, it probably needs some lube somewhere in the mechanism or if it's hydraulic, it could be the slave cylinder. Either way, I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you just can't handle the noise.

Ok, that's what I needed to know. A lot of threads were saying a squeak could be the throwout bearing and I wasn't sure if that was the case.

Stefan, you beat me to the "front stage help" thread.

All this talk of mounting in doors, and I keep looking at how fucking huge my kicks were, and I want this to be my last setup for a while, got me thinking.

This might be of interest for you guys.

Funny thing is, you can pop open 75% of the TVs on the market today and see Samsung and Sanyo components throughout.

I never realized Sanyo components were so prevalent in the marketplace

It is too bad Panasonic is getting out of the plasma game; first Pioneer and now Panasonic...who will I buy plasmas from now?! (yes I'm being rhetorical)

That is because Sharp owns the rights to the larger panels for now. Give it time though sammy has lots of money and will buy into those panels too, they do own some where around 42% of the electronics market world wide.
