Clutch Pedal Squeaks when pressed

Hey people, My clutch pedal on my 97 box is starting to squeak as i press it down. Has anyone here experienced this? and if so, what joint or hinge did you lube to fix this issue?

Also what did you use to lube it?

The squeak is terribly anoying and makes me feel like im driving a "Not so great" car.


I have 99k miles on my boxster

Its definatly coming from the pedal assembly, i dont think i would be able to hear the slave squeak if it was. But the noise i hear is definatly under the dash. Maybe ill take a look tomorrow and ill tell you where to lube once im done ok.

I had the same problem with my 02 and the dealer disassembled my clutch pedal and sprayed some sort of dry film lubricant and it's been quiet ever since.

Its the Slave Cylinder, had mine replaced twice during warranty because of that damn annoying sqeak. It does sound like its coming from the pedal itself but its not.
