squeaky clutch pedal

[mickcoulson]

hi guys....i have a squeaky clutch pedal on my car, i know it's only trivial but it's doin' my head in. the pedal only squeaks when the car is in gear. when it's in neutral it's fine. iv'e tried WD40 and it goes off fo a while but soon starts squeaking again.i'm sure it's not coming from under the bonnet.
any ideas,

Its a very common problem Mick - and as the pedal bushes are made of nylon, WD40 doesn't stay around too long. Use a PTFE grease spray if you can get it, and this will help.
I've no idea why it doesn't squeak in neutral though - it certainly doesn't make any difference as far as the pedal is concerned!

Why not try grease? WD40 and PTFE evaporate.
