Have a problem here. Ive replaced clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder yesterday. I did this because my clutch was really hard and really low. I tried to bleed before replacing but couldnt get pressure at all. Even after replacing cmc and csc the clutch is still hard to push down but works fine. I guess the piping is bad? Is there anything else I can try? Also the throw out bearing? That bar that the slave cylinder pushes to engage clutch makes a squeek sound when fully pressed. Can it just be greased? Ive heard to remove boot and spray wd40 in there to fix the noise. Any help would be great. Thanks

Hi dave79snj,

a heavy clutch is an indication the clutch disc is running thin and the clutch fork lacks lubrication, as indicated by the squeaking noise.

You can pull the rubber boot out and spray some WD 40 onto the clutch fork bigot bt it is not going to last and would not help much on the stiff pedal.
