I could have sworn this problem was addressed before.
Has anyone fixed it? WD40, grease? It seems to be worse during wet days. Weird. I haven't actually gotten under to see where it's coming from.

Does it sound like opening an old screen door? laugh.gif
If it's coming from inside the tranny/shift lever and sounds kinda like a rusty spring it's the shift fork bushings. The material they were made out of was crap, Hyundai has a TSB about it. They released new bushings made from a different material. The bushings cost about a buck at your local Hyundai dealer, but you have to pull the tranny to replace them. happysad.gif
Luckily I remembered to do mine when I replaced my clutch. The new bushings + some good grease made the noise go away completely and it has yet to return in years. The clutch pedal also moves smoother and with less effort.
Spraying some WD-40 or other lubricant directly down the shift fork will help, but only lasts a couple days or weeks and you risk lubing up your clutch disc.

That's inside the tranny. The "creaking" sound I get is from inside the car somewhere on the clutch pedal.

Ahhh...that may be different then. You may want to make sure though. I originally thought my noise was in the pedal as well, because the vibrations kinda travel to the pedal. I'd pop your head under the hood while someone is pressing the clutch pedal just to make sure.

THAT SOUND! ARGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's almost as annoying as when a fly wakes you up early in the morning after a drinking night when you are camping outdoors!!!
Well I do have the "CRACK" type noise coming from inside the car, I am 90% sure it's directly from the pedal assembly, it feels as if something is moving-rubbing in the pedal assembly.
Anyone?

Like I said, peak your head under the hood while someone pushes the clutch just to be sure. I would have bet money it was the pedal assembly before I found out it was the bushings.
Could be wrong though...just keep your fingers crossed. laugh.gif
