Anyone having issues with clutch engagement and feel?

That is correct as far as removal. I actually had mine out and it felt great as far as feel goes.... i did how ever put it back in because the pedal was vibrating and it was sitting about a quarter inch lower then stock.

AS far as grease, I gave up on that. After a bit the grease gets contaminated with dirt and dust and makes it sticky again so.

Long story short, gotta live with the creak i guess?

Mine was really creaky when I got it but seems to have gotten better as the miles rack up. If the squeak comes back I'll probably try some bicycle chain lube because its not supposed to attract dirt.

Maybe ill give that a try. I have lube for my motorcycle chain that i never thought of using.

So interesting update. I put a heavier, wider tire on (265/70R17 General Grabber ATx) and its seems like its way less jerky and actually nicer to drive. I don't know if its the fact of the weather being cooler and not humid or if the added rotational mass made shifting easier...... Or im crazy. Who knows.

My ‘18 manual JLUR feels and shifts great, it just doesn’t sound great. I have pedal creak with every shift. Just had it in for recall and mentioned the creak.

I was told by dealer service it’s mechanically fine and could either pay for a new clutch (I’m at 40k miles) or turn the radio up!

if anyone has a solution for the creaking clutch pedal, please share. It makes me crazy to hear it with each shift.

That's interesting; my clutch pedal started to creak when I got it back from the recall work last July. I kept meaning to get under the dash and try to lube it and never got around to it. Now either it's gone or I've just gotten used to it. I'll try to remember to listen for it on the way home tonight.
