My Clutch Is Squealing

[creatinelex]

Hello, I just found this site on Google, and I'm hoping someone can please help me.

I have a 2000 Lexus IS200 Sport, and this afternoon the clutch has started squealing when I push it in.

The gears seem to work alright, but the squealing is worrying me.

Can somebody please help - am I ok to use the car or is this a serious problem that I will need to get the car towed to the garage for?

Thank-you all for any help

Welcome to LOC :)

Guessing you should be ok to take the car to the dealers if need be?

Good luck getting it sorted!

is it squealing only on the initial push/release the pedal? it is most prob the clutch release bearing and not the actual plate assy itself.

gearbox will still have to come out tho.

Hi,

I had a clutch go a few years back on my is200, happened at about 70k, Lexus dealer was really helpfull and said that it shouldn't go that quick so I got discount, ended up paying for a whole new clutch fitted (actuator and plates) by them for under 200 quid,

Probably get it done cheaper elsewhere but I reckon I got a fair price, and would be cheaper for just the plates

I've got a speaky clutch push in, i had a rummage about under the car followed the speaking, and found it to be erm well i dont actually no because it was pretty much out of site, but i had to pull back a rubber like housing, the clutch went very very light, then i killed the buggar with half a can of WD40 as i dont think i could have got grease up there, the sqeaking went away. and randomly comes back everyonce in a while.

Could give this ago before you spend a load dosh.

What milage has your car got on it. mine 88000. think the clutch is good for around 100000. sure someone will correct me if im wrong.

88K on mine, was slipping a few weeks ago, then stopped , then started slipping again last night

Mine squeaks when operating the pedal, but its more like a linkage squeak than a release bearing noise.

I was amazed mine started slipping, It started not long after a high (very high ) rev standing start - wish I had not bothered the 911 left me standing :duh: (it was a mates though - would not normally pitch against a 911)
