I'm about to embark on a minor "repair" to hopefully fix a squeak the occurs sometimes when pressing the clutch pedal in one of my cars. The recommendation I've gotten is to lube the surface where the clutch slave cylinder pushrod presses (and rubs) against the lever connected to the clutch fork. This will involve pressing the pushrod slightly back into the slave cylinder.
Theoretically lightly pushing backward on the pushrod for only a very short distance should not cause any problems, right? It seems like it should just maybe raise the fluid level slightly (imperceptibly, probably) in the reservoir. Are there any seals that could be damaged or bypassed by this?
