SOME 1984-85 AND EARLY BUILT 1986 FIEROS WITH 4 OR 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS MAY EXHIBIT CLUTCH PEDAL SQUEAK/NOISE WHEN CLUTCHING. THE NOISE IS USUALLY CAUSED FROM LACK OF LUBRICATION. THE NOISE MAY BE FROM EITHER THE CLUTCH PEDAL PIVOT BUSHINGS, SPACER AND/OR AT THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER PUSH ROD TO PEDAL ATTACHMENT.
TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION, THE CLUTCH PEDAL MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE PEDAL SUPPORT, AND LUBRICANT APPLIED TO THE MOVING PARTS.
