Mine is doing the same thing. It appears to be on mine atleast, that it is the clutch pedal arm (or what ever you want to call it) going through the cab into the engine bay. Mine never did this before my Body Lift so I think mine just might be rubbing.

It looks to just have a rubber grommet in the small opening so maybe either:
A.) Check my cab for straightness after the BL

or

B.) Cut away some rubber to make the opening bigger!

Mine's definitely not the clutch itself but the pedal being depressed and it's arm going through into the bay. You might double check your's and see if it's the same issue or if the sound is coming from somewhere else.

Fixed my squeaky clutch the other day, but mine turned out to be the slave cylinder. Replaced it and was still squeaking a bit, so I greased the area the pushrod pushes the clutch fork and no more squeak

With my wife pressing my clutch in and out mine squeak seemed to come from behind boot in bellhousing. I tried greasing the pushrod area "all_terrain17" did, but it didn't seem to help. It was such a small space that getting grease in there was tough. I just dabbed some on a screwdriver and stuck it in there.
How'd you do it terrain ?

i think if you had a grease gun. it would make it easier to do it. how much grease did u put?

When I first started to try and lube the internals of the slave cylinder, I just pulled back the boot and sprayed WD40 in, when the squeak returned a few months later, I pulled back the boot and stuck the head of a grease gun into as best I could and pumped grease in till full...this didn't help much at all, and the squeak was back within a single trip...

Pumping grease probably wasn't the best idea

Got to wits end with the squeaking and spent $12 on a new slave, installed in about 10 mins, bleed the clutch, and still had a small squeak I narrowed down to that area where the pushrod touches the dished portion of the clutch fork.

I would just replace the slave if I were, probably would do the clutch good anyways

I don't buy the aftermarket slaves any more - they're usually "rebuilds" and have very little quality control.. After replacing my 3rd one, I only buy toyota... I'd give Marlins version a try also, just haven't had the opportunity.

I've got a "click" in my clutch peddle sometimes.. I'll be darned if I can find it - I've read that metal down there can fatigue, but it's a real pain to find.

yeah remaned parts suck. luckily the slave is on the outside of the transmission making it much easier to change if you get a faulty remaned one
