I have tried greasing it, tef lube and cleaning it.

Hi andrewprelude,

It would depend on where the noise is comg from. Is from pedal side or transmission end?

Cable? I believe it is hydraulics for your year model.

It should be the clutch fork. At outer end there is a slave cylinder with a push rod. If that is the cause, push the push rod back into the cylinder and apply some grease to the contact area.

If the noise is coing from inside the bell housing, that would be a little tricky.

You would need to get a can of grease spray with a long nozzle. Pull the rubber boot out to spray onto the pivot inside. DO NOT overspray or spray onto the clutch disc.
