    Whenever I press my clutch in now it creaks like crazy. It mostly creaks when it's in the fully compressed position. I already tried fixing the pedal pivot itself with some silicone spray and that did absolutely nothing? I've briefly read online about bad clutches/throw bearings making sounds too.

    What about using the brake pedal return spring from Toyota?

    Also on a side note my clutch squeeks like this and is also starting to stick a little bit. Clutch is not engaged when it sticks but i can put my foot under it and bring the pedal back up some. Any idea what that could be?

    So replacing the spring didnt help fix the creaking. After further evaluation, the creaking is definitely coming from the outside of the cab [oops]. But anyway. Are there anymore ideas to what could be wrong now?
    Thanks

    Maybe a release bearing or throw out bearing in the transmission.

    Could also be the clutch slave cylinder push rod squeaking on the clutch fork, when pedal is pressed.

    3" lift, fancy exhaust tip.
    Mine squeaked for a long time and I ignored it, except to spray lube on the moving parts the pedal attached to inside, which never helped. After a while, the pedal started to not return all the way up. I drove it like that for a while, but it was getting harder and harder to get it in gear and was no longer safe. So, I replaced the master and slave cylinders. It was an easy job for both. Definitely need a second person to bleed the clutch, but it only takes a few minutes.

    Squeak is completely gone.
