squeaky E36 clutch pedal

["Matthew C Smith" <msmith@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alex,

I had the same problem with my clutch.  It turned out to be the bushings at
the clutch pivot point.  It's a fairly common problem.  I finally cured mine
by a new set of bushings from UUC Motorwerks and a VERY generous application
of some Redline synthetic wheel bearing grease.

They also get rid of the lateral play in the pedal, which bothered me also.

Here's mine

Another option is Ron Stygar's delrin bushings and reamed out pedal.
