Creaking Clutch Pedal

[D813YBB]

I have recently started to experience the delights of a clutch pedal that creaks and clicks (possibly old age setting in!) when depressed and released on changing gear. Is this a sign of imminent failure of part of the pedal mechanism?

Any advice on how to repair would be appreciated. Car is a 1987 1.6L Maestro.

Mine has done that on and off since I bought the car 3 years and 45,000 miles ago. It is currently not doing it but was doing it as recently as a couple of months ago.

I've tried spraying WD40 on the pedal mounts etc. but it did nothing other than stink the car out.

I have recently started to experience the delights of a clutch pedal that creaks and clicks.

I had this trouble and it turned out that a bit of the carpet had got tangled up in the mechanism.

I had the same thing and WD40 did work!

Same here: WD40 worked but only after I'd put two lots on.

I'll give the WD40 a try. Is it a case of lying upside down and try and locating the clicking part?
