General Noise when clutch depressed and pressed?

[benny279]

Hello,

This noise has been there for a few months now but never has it interfered with the car itself, as in changing gears e.g 1-5 and reverse, I've done a bit of research and it could either be clutch release bearing/spring or gearbox bearing (if that's correct, don't quote me on that!).

Here's a video of it I did earlier before it got dark, I'm only enquiring about it at the moment.

It's Punto MK2 2000 (W Reg)

Thanks in advance!

Give your clutch pedal a spray with some wd40 to eliminate that
I dont think its that but i could be wrong

I'd suspect slave cylinder been creaky
Or
The release bearing / Spring diaphram not been happy

But that's a creak - not a click, i ran with a creaky clutch for ages again with no consequences

Where should I spray it? behind the pedal? And it won't be a MOT failure?

But thanks again Ziggy that's put my mind at rest didn't want to drive miles from home and clutch fails

The Joints To ensure its not just a sticky hinge thats creaking

And im not saying it'll not drop on you
It could be just a dry joint giving you a creak

Trouble is i suspect it to the clutch fork bushings - bit hard tho to soak those if they are the cause

I've sprayed and it's lessen the noise down even solved another issue of mine when turning the steering wheel to the right it made a loud noise not anymore obviously had something sticking or something along those lines down there, thanks Ziggy122
