Before anything else, please proceed to buy 1 spare clutch cable and keep inside your trunk.

Clutch in Shawie is uniquely DESIGNED TO FAIL within 30k, sometimes 20k mileage. Mine, last changed was last year September, and December already same plobrem recurred. The same squeeking sound happened to most(if not all) Shawie when you have enough chance to meet up with fellow Shawie members during TT. For your information, the clutch itself has nothing to do with the squeeking sound you heard. The sound emit from the clutch cable LINK inside the gearbox. There's a linkage block that pull the FORK between your clutch cable. That's the damn thing needed frequent lubrication. Should you know how to do so, unplug the clutch cable, lube it with grease and plonk it back, then your clutch pedal will sound as new. As for the heavy weight feeling, it was the clutch cover. For God knows reason, all brand/version/grade of clutch cover/shoe you use, eventually the clutch cover spring will grow weak in EXTREMELY short time. Such weight without an efficient spring would translate as a 30tons truck feeling when you hit the pedal. Nonetheless, such heavy clutching action is the main culprit of causing the joint/linkage block to squeek

Clutch cover is the top most round shape UFO with stripes extending from the middle. Clutch pad is the black color thingy at the bottom with coil springs. Those stripes on the clutch cover are the springs that will reject your clutch pad from the flywheel when you hit the clutch pedal. When those springs starts failing/losing tension, you'll have to press the clutch pedal very hard to release your clutch pad.


Trust me, you can spend all your money replacing clutch for the rest of your Shawie's life, and the same thing will come back and haunt you over and over again every few months down the road. My car already running 179k currently, still staying strong - BUT WITH THE SQUEEKING SOUND. Occassionally I will get my magician to lube my clutch cable and it will stop squeeking like a pig for few weeks. Good luck. Feel free to lurk around our official Shawie thread in LYN. Although it's half dead, but few of the senior members still there to answer your questions.
