Can you lube the clutch pedal?

[dog2bert]

I was wondering if the clutch pedal needs lubricating from time to time?
Mine feels a little crunchy.

"Sort of" - get a self lubricating brass bushing kit - they're pretty cheap. AKG has them; Garagistic I think. I'm sure others too.


That said, I don't think the pedal/bushing plays a big role in the "feel" of the clutch action. I would assume it comes from the driveline (pp/clutch) maybe even including the fluid and cyl.

Can you bleed the clutch with a pressure bleeder?

Yes.

I don't think the clutch pivot was lubricated by factory. Maybe you need to replace the bushings...easy job.

Can you do this without removing the transmission?

Yes. All done in the driver's side footwell.

Rogue Engineering make Delein bushes for the pedals

I just swapped the wobbly stock pedal pivot bushings with garagistic brass and it made a noticeable improvement in feel. Car only has 43k on it so the stock bushings were far from worn. For the cost and effort, I’d recommend it to anyone.

You can also get a clutch pedal made of metal.

I think Mason Engineering do them.

Yes, but it creates a different action/throw than stock. I didn't care for it at all.

Is there more or less throw than the OEM pedal?

[WestBankM4]

Would recommend AKG, they're self lubricating. Those are OEM ones in the picture above, if you're wondering, I didn't cut them.

[Tbonem3]

Is there more or less throw than the OEM pedal?

Shorter. Just like an SSK, everything is a compromise. For a shorter throw, you give up things. I don't care for either. Nor shorter diff gears (3.91/4.10).
