Non Pug - Fiesta Clutch Creaking When Pulling Away

[mattw 2]

Hi all,

 

As above, I have recently aquired a 1989 Fiesta where there is a creaking noise when pulling away in 1st . I think its coming from the clutch when it bites.

 

Does anyone have an idea about what it might be?

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

Cheap clutch with a poor replacement for the outlawed asbestos, I wouldn't worry about it as most I have come across will last for as long as a normal clutch will, still making this noise. It is like brake pads squealing, but the clutch doing it whilst taking up.

Is there anything I can do to stop it? I need to get it sold so something to make it stop would be great!

Could be the clutch cable or the mechanism. My friend had a fiesta of similar year and it ate clutch cables.

Slip the living daylights out of it so it gets stinking hot and breaks the glaze? Other than that not much.

Will give that a try!

agree with this to clean clutch up a bit common practice when i had my scooby.
