Clutch pedal squeeks as I push it Everytime I push the clutch in it makes this squeek/ dry rubbing sound. Has anyone had this? Is it something curable with a good amount of wd40?
Yes.
No.
The squeaking is from the clutch pedal spring where it meets the plastic spring bushings.
First, you'll want to look at the spring and make sure its all there. They often break and then twist in the pedal weird, making more noise. The spring should have three contact points with the bushings. One in the center of the spring, and two "arms" on the sides that engage the plates on either side of the pedal. (If that's not what you have, then you'll need to replace the spring.)
Even with a new spring, it may still squeak. If so, you can use white lithium grease to quiet it a bit. (WD40 will dissolve your bushings. White lithium is a good lube to use in this application. In fact, WD40 is pretty evil stuff. The only thing that its useful for on a car is dissolving rusty bolts. In other applications it either, doesn't stand up, dissolves other lubricants, or washes away easy.)
