I have a King Cobra clutch that is only a few months old and when I engage and disengage it, it makes a creeking noise. This noise is almost as if the cable going over the quadrant is creeking. Iv'e noticed that when it rains or after I wash my car it doesnt do this. Is there anything wrong w/ it? Anything I can do? Thanks.
 
Yeah.. I think there is probably something you can do if it's what I think it is. And that is: the spring for the clutch cable. I won't rule out that some other part might be squeeking but one of the easiest things to try is dropping a mat down onto your driver's side floor and spraying the crap out of the clutch pedal spring with WD-40 and see if it goes away. If so, problem solved. If not, then start looking at quadrant, cable, or fork. I'll bet a quarter that it's the spring though.
