Default Tick M/C squeaks like a rabid mouse

Does anyone else have this issue? It's done it since I first put it in... It's just getting worse and worse over time.

It's embarrassing to even have a female ride in my car with it squeaking like a hoopty POS.

I daily drive my car and it's really starting to drive me crazy!

Mine has never made a sound, and it has been in for a long time now. I'm not even sure what would make noise.

It squeaks both when I press and release the clutch. Really starting to get to me, can't see anything that would cause it from inside the car. I really hope I don't have to remove it for any reason because that install was not fun.

Mine is totally silent but not having heard a rabid mouse before, I can't help you much. Call Joey at Tick and ask if maybe it was optional on your model.

Maybe its the pedal and not the M/C? Spray everything down with some WD-40 lol I get a little squeak from my pedal at the top of its travel after installing the new clutch. Maybe the added pressure required by the M/C is making the bushing in the pedal squeal?

Mine makes the noise too. It started a few months ago. I drive with the windows down so I don't hear it too much. But it is getting annoying.

I have one of the very first MC produced by tick too.
