Clutch pedal squeaks when pressing down
Hi All,
What should be a pretty simple fix (and looking at old posts have confirmed this) has me running into a wall. The clutch pedal in my 03z squeaks as I press it down and from what I can tell is coming from the two springs behind it. I have tried WD-40 and then Super Lube on every pivot point I can find to no avail.
Please tell me I am missing something so stupid and small because at this point the car is oozing lubricant lol

As you noticed there are multiple moving components comprising the "clutch pedal". There's the pedal itself which pivots on a pin, the over-center spring which has at least a few touch points, and then there's the master cylinder rod which attaches to the pedal.
You can try disconnecting the master cylinder rod by removing the clip and sliding the rod off the pin, and then move the pedal back and forth to check for noise. My bet is that the pedal would be silent like this and therefore squeaky master cylinder seal(s) would be the culprit.
