Just looked through my service history and found the bullitin number.

Bullitin Number: SB015T04 (Faulty Clutch Master Cylinder)

unlikely they will fix it if you don't bring it up first.

Does this mean we can get it fixed even out of warranty for free?!

Lol. Of course not, I'm just stating that if your cars within warranty then you mention the creaky clutch and mention the bullitin number if they start talking trash.

To my knowledge, no. If its a recall yes, however if it's just a bullitin dependant upon fault detection, I'm unsure if they will cover it.

yeah, you mentioned there is a good chance it may have already been done. I think if they did it, you would probably know about it because you brought it up in the first place. :confused:

That's true.
The first time I took it in the did some shitty lube job and claimed it was the cruise control trigger (it's a different sound, that is a click not a creak)

The second time they replaced the master cylinder. I asked the guy if this was a common problem, he said there were a few.

So it is defo something they know about. If your car is under warranty you should get it replaced no hesitation. I'm not sure what the go is if you are out of warranty, but I still think its worth a try.

You would think by posting a public bullitin they have admitted to a fault in their product. If the product is faulty then regardless of warranty they should replace it. However, as we all know. This isn't a perfect world.

Hmm, thought i would revive this thread.

So, do we all agree that the creaking clutch is a result of the master cylinder? and replacing this cylinder should fix the problem?

Oh, and how much are we looking at costing to replace it.

My mum and I both have or should I say had the creaking pedal issue.

Hers has had a master cylinder, clutch pedal bushes and as of last week had a pedal box replacement. All was done under warranty. Finally after having the pedal box replaced the noise is gone and feels much better. I had been complaining to honda at every service since 5000km and now its at close 120,000kms.

Mine isn't as bad as hers was, I can leave with it as I would hate to thing what a pedal box is worth.

i had the same problem with my 03 model euro. It has a mass creek in the pedel and you could feel it within moving it within the engage point.

I took it to a mechanic and he llubed it. It worked fine for another week and kept creaping. I know for a fact that the issue wont go away unless you constantly lube it.. which isnt a problem for most men ;) wink wink

Now i have a 07 model euro, it creeks when its cold & not when its hot.. very weird.

So i got the h*&Ts and bought the Euro R pedals from JDM yard.. They look MINT!

Hy guys..

I used silicone spray on mine, it's honestly been about 5 months and no creek since.. But I lubed it all, I even "lubed the shaft all the way into the firewall" lol.. Silicone spray seems to have done the job for now
