Default 6 speed clutch pedal noise

I went and looked at a Superduty today with a 6 speed. It runs pretty good besides the fact that it needs glow plugs and won't start without being plugged in.

My question is the clutch pedal was really noisy and squeaked when pushing it in and out. What would be the causes and fixes of such a thing? Is it an easy fix? I am an auto guy so I know next to nothing about this issue. It sounds like this one in the video...

i'd say it's a easy fix. at the very top of the clutch pedal there is a little plastic bushing. then about halfway down the pedal there are a few small pins and a spring. it could be there too. i don't think it is a huge problem. just annoying. mine has a similar sound but it's the pressure plate.

try squirting some PB in it, it might go away. other than the squeak, does the clutch feel alright?

I have nothing to compare it to since it was my first zf6 I've ever driven. It felt pretty good.

ok. to bad there isn't a inspection cover on the bottom of the bell housing to see what it's actually doing. but then again they're all different. i've driven several and none feel the same, not even close.

Ya, it felt pretty good. No weird grinding or anything.

well that's a good sign. with the pedal to the floor, and in gear did it try to move at all?

I didn't really pay attention to that... I was pressed for time so I drove it for a few minutes and then had to leave. I forgot to even check for blowby...

oh ok. well if you get a chance to look at it again, see if it moves, and blowby of course. my old boss has a 99 with 260,xxx and it will creep with the clutch to the floor. but he's broke the clutch fork before and i think it's bent now.
