check this out i pretty sure there is a TSB for that.

 

cool..ill check it out

 

my 99 taco clutch squeeks sometimes too!

 

I had the same problem with my 08. The first time the dealer just greased the pedal. On the way home it started to squek. I even told the dealer about a TSB for the clutch and the service guy said they would "fix" it. I ended up calling Toyota and told them I wanted my truck fixed right.

Don't let the dealer do anything less than the TSB. It is a pain to have to go back and forth to the dealer.

 

WHen does it squeek?

When you press it?

If it squeeks when you press it.... the 1st gen trucks were notorious for these squeeks. There's a little bushing that keeps wearing/breaking off.

But damn, I would've thought Toyota would've fixed that by now!! I had a 96 tacoma and I replaced my clutch pedal bushing 3X in 5 years.

 

I have 08 access 4 cyl. had the same thing it started at about 6000 miles but quit after about 10,000 havent heard it since.

 

I have a 1997 and have had the same problem only replaced it once. but I have only owned the truck for a year and 3 mouths and its been a great truck

 

so the dealer fixed it for free??

 

Sweet! Got to love TSB's

 

i have a 07 4wd access cab 4cyl 5sp and my clutch pedal sqeeks all the time!! HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

now mines squeeking again

 

It's the bushing for sure. Maybe you can't tell but it's also a little harder to press too. You'll realize that after you replace the bushing. Mine started doing it at around 7-8000 miles, nd i had it changed. It's been fine again until i hit about 17-18000 miles. Will take it back again, just have not had the time yet. But aperantly it's going to be a "maintenance issue" that you'll have to take care of every 8-10000 miles or so. "New technology"...go figure.

 

Mine at 16,000 miles. WD-40 fixed it.
