Re: [DML] Squeeling sound? More info.....

["Stian Birkeland" <dmc_norway@xxxx>]

I think that I shall add some more info to my previous posting if this has 
something to do with the clutch components.

First, I don't think I have the stainless steel braided clutch line. Are one 
able to see it from under the car? Is it difficult to "feel" or see what 
clutch line is on the car? I mean, what are the tricks to identify whether 
you have the plastic clutch line or the stainless braided one?

Second, my clutch is dead-hard. I mean, you really have to push it to the 
floor, very hard, a comparison would be to kick a football as hard as you 
can.

Third, I do have a "squeak" sound when I depress the clutch. Sounds like 
something that needs lubrication.

Fourth, the clutch fluid is at constant level. No signs of leaks.

Fifth, the suggestion from Mr. Linstad that the squealing sound maybe the AC 
bearings are not very likely I think. The reason I say so is that I replaced 
those last summer, and that squeal was like hearing a bat from hell...

No, this sound is somewhat quieter, yet annoying. I suspect that there maybe 
something to do with the clutch, but who knows? DMC Joe, any more ideas??

Best wishes
