Default squeaky clutch pedal

Hi,

Just signed up with Club Lexus. Wondering if someone can assist me with my IS300 (2002) manual - squeaky clutch pedal.

I've tried lubbing it and basically found out that there is a plastic piece that needs replacing and is the causing the pedal to squeak. It comes and goes but at it's worst it's very loud and annoying.

I've also inquired a CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY KIT from the dealer and it's awfully expensive.....not worth it, especially for one particular piece.

My mechanic suggested I ask this forum to see if I can get any leads on a used one or any other ideas.

Thank you

Are you sure it's coming from the inside of the car?

My problem exist outside the car. It's probably the pivot ball on the fork. Mine squeaks like crazy too. I wish I replaced this when I did my clutch job at 90k. I tried lubing it but it always come back. I think there's a score on the fork or the pivot ball that causes it to squeak like crazy.

Default No more squeaky clutch pedal

See my response below. I changed two pieces and it worked out perfectly. All the best.
