Default Squeaky Clutch Pedal

Everytime my clutch pedal is slowly pressed or depressed it makes a squeaking noise. I tried to spray lube the linkage and the rod but it didnt really do anything. Anyone elese have this problem? Anyone have a solution?

Clutch return spring, very very common problem. Eventualy it will break and most people just leave them off, mine has been off for 6+ months no problems.

I took the spring out and the pedal is still squeaking. It almost sounds like its coming from the push rod area.

its that black plastic switch(starter switch i assume) the pedal hits like said above. i had put some grease on it a while back, but yesterday after reading this post i went out and really gooped it on all the way around, especially on top. no more creaking when i slowly release the pedal.

I'm having the same problem with my Colorado ZQ8.
I tried spraying the rod and all the joints, and it still squeaks. I took it to the dealer, and they lubed it a little, and they said it was working perfectly normally. I know it didn't do that when it was new.

I'll try some of the suggestions on this thread, and hopefully I'll get it fixed, or at least not squeaking as much.
