Mondeo Clutch Squeak

Hi, I've a Mondeo 2.0 TDCi, 04 plate, 156k on the clock.

The clutch squeaks sometimes when changing gear, this only happens when I am going down the gears when slowing and only when lifting the pedal to engage gear again, around what would be the biting point. Even then it's only 10% of the time.

Any ideas what it is, is it anything to worry about, it's been happening for a while now but car seems fine apart from this.

Could it be an early sign of DMF problems, unlikely at this mileage I'd have thought - maybe I'm just a bit rough with the clutch?

Cheers.

    Sounds like a Mickey mouse clutch release bearing ;) (assuming it's not just the pedal squeaking).

    If it sounds like its coming from the engine bay, it could be the clutch plate worn to rivets.
  • Mine did this I changed down too quickly. But as the DMF was on its way out anyway I wasn't too arsed.

    New clutch, DMF etc sorted it.
