technically, i dont know really too much at all about clutches. im driving my 1st manual car that ive had for a year now. i dont have a clue as to why this could be doing this. but on occasion, like recently, when i press on the clutch or release the clutch, it squeaks as if it could use some grease of wd-40 or something. the clutch doesnt feel quite as smooth as it should. just feels as if it’s rubbing against something possibly. i took a peak, but didn’t really see anything odd, but like i said, i dont know what to look for. it still grabs fine when changing gears and everything. what should i do/look for? if it’s needed to know, i drive a 99 mk3 jetta 2.slow. thanx for the help ---

does it let out at random points occasionally? and kind of have a squeak sometimes? if so, its probably your throw-out bearing. ---

As you let the clutch pedal up slowly, do it feel like the pedal is binding? Like it comes up almost like it’s clicking like a ratchet? If so, could be a master or slave cylinder binding. Clutch fluid full? ---

You have a cable clutch. Sounds like there is gunk on the clutch cable linkage and cable. Take a look. ---

There is a possibility that the clutch is worn and the splines on the input shaft are caked with disc material. This would cause a poor disengagment which would prevent proper shifting. The fix for that would be a new clutch. ---

If its a clutch do it yourself its super easy. Get a clutch kit from [germanautoparts.com](http://germanautoparts.com) and you will be all set. You will wana get the clutch instalation kit that comes with new bolts/seals/anything else you will need. ---

my clutch seems to squeak when sitting in neutral and just slowly pushing the pedal in and releasing, and i keep doing this, and it keeps squeaking, as if something needs to be greased up or sumthing… ---
