Hi guys,

On my 06 hawk wrx, when stood with engine running and pressing clutch I get a creaking sound, Seems more audible with window down.

I'm guessing this could be the clutch master cylinder?

Thanks in advance, any help greatly appreciated!

I doubt its the Master or slave cylinder

Couple of culprits are

Release bearing/pressure plate fins creaking
Fork Arm Pin Dry
Dry rods under the clutch pedal

My 95 WRX does it, ive lubed the Fork pin, still does it, i lubed the rods under the pedal, still did it, only when i removed the TMIC, put my head to the bellhousing and its in there, only thing it can be is release bearing/Pressure plate fins

it is annoying lol !!

 

On mine it was the slave cylinder. Every time I press the clutch pedal I get this creaking noise, I thought I was actually the pedal mechanism itself until I realise that the noise came from under the bonnet. I go someone to press the pedal while I investigated and sure enough the creaking noise was the slave cylinder. I've put grease on on the push pin a few times and the noise goes away for a while. I even bought a new slave cylinder at one point too but the noise just keeps coming back eventually.

 

It is this little bigger that's making all the racket! (Black rubber with the O on)<br/><br/>Located under the inter cooler, moves and creaks when clutch is pressed. <br/><br/>I'm pretty new to getting under the bonnet so any advice on what it is would be great! <br/><br/>Thanks again! Lee

 

That is the slave cylinder but, you sure it's that creaking ? As what've was saying is attached to the black fork inside the gearbox, hopefully if it is the slave cylinder , easy fix

 

I think I've had that noise aswell Rig but that was more of a clattering noise than a squeak. They hadn't greased my clutch release bearing when it was put in so I did the old Wd40 trick with a long straw. Pop the straw (or two straws joined together) under the rubber boot where the clutch fork is and give it a good old squirt and it greases the bearing inside
