Best to remove the clutch pedal completely from the pedal cluster - it is mounted on a nylon bush which is normally thick with dried crud. Clean the crud off. I put petroleum jelly around mind. Refitted, now smooth as Galaxy chcocolate.

Taking care not to drop bits down the back of the carpet because they are an almost impossible task to find and recover them! (You can guess how I know this!). Also be careful not to break, bend or lose the clips that hold the pedals axle rod in place (there's one at each end I believe). I was told that somebody had their pedals fall off (brake and clutch!!!) whilst travelling due to a faulty clip on one end!!! )when the rod worked its way out of the mounting).

Mine used to do it until I sprayed it with this
WD-40 DRY PTFE LUBRICANT 400ML. Never made another noise in over 3 years.
