Question about a weird noise coming out of my clutch

[02RSXs.owner]

Well im looking for a solution to this issue I have.

It has something to do with my clutch and me accelerating from stop to go.
A friend of mines told me that its jus the clutch trying get a grip on the "umm, something wheel" :dontknow:. except, mines make a much louder noise than usuall.

Anyways, this happens when im at a complete stop and im trying to move the car, as i Release the clutch slowly and start to add in some gas, at a certain point where the clutch catches on) it makes this weird, low tone rubbing noise that almost sounds like a low squeek. once, i realease the clutch (off course) the sound goes away.

its just really embarassing.

my question is, is there any way for me to eliminate the sound or atleast decrease it a bit?

say maybe spray some wd40 somewhere?

whatever your do, do not spray oil or lube on your clutch. If anything, it sounds like you clutch might be wearing out.

I have 56,000 miles. does that sound about right?

anyways how much am i looking at including labor to change my clutch? hell, if you can throw in a few brands in there to, that'd be great.

are there any other signs i can check to see if my clutch is actually wearing down?

fyi: i dont race or anything. but i do have alot of city miles.

I agree, it sounds like your clutch is worn. 56,000 is about right, depending on how hard you ride your clutch. If you don't do any track days, probably just do a factory replacement. I believe it's gonna be just under $1,000 though.

If you want to go aftermarket, Exedy makes some serious clutches

Oh and when your friend said "something wheel" he meant "flywheel"

Yup, it must be wearing out.

In your case, it does sound like a clutch issue. I run a Exedy stage 1. Little bit stiffer then stock as well as a lower engagement height, but the nice thing about it is that the engagement point is very clear. Its not mushy and vague like the stock unit.

I agree with the others. It sounds like your clutch is worn. A squeak usually isn't a good sign for any moving parts because that usually means bad friction between metal objects.

I've been told that clutch replacement will cost about $1,000. Whatever the problem is you should get it checked out soon. Squeaks from a car isn't really a good sign of anything.

Labor in itself, you can find a good independent to do it for around $300-400 for the labor only.
