Creaky Clutch

Since I acquired my car with little over 30,000m on the clock, the clutch starts to creak and requires lubrication every 2/3months or so. I have been told by the garage that it is something to do with the nylon used in the pedals (apparently as a safety feature so they break away easily in the event of a crash and do not injure your feet)?? Anyone know anything about this or had a similar problem? It doesn't bother me hugely as I am a frequent visitor to my local garage and they always sort it without charge, but it would be great if there was a permanent solution. Most of my mileage is in the city and in traffic jams which probably doesn't help.

Sounds like they're using the wrong grease mine hasn't made a sound I've only owned it slightly longer than 3 months but 80% of my milege is stop start & mine has 113k miles on it now

Maybe its just the 2.0TS that gets the squeeky pedal. Mine does.

both of mine have been squeeky....you soon get used to it

Glad to hear it's not just mine then! Like I said, it's not a major bother as it always seems to surface when I am making a trip to the garage anyway. Just another 'alfa-ism' I guess.

On the subject of the clutch/gearbox, the travel from 1st to 2nd gear on mine seems to take an eternity and isn't exactly 'smooth' - does this point to anything more serious or is it just the way it is with this model?

again, mine's a bit like that....especially when cold.
