Default ****ing clutch!!

Do any of you guys hear a creaking noise when you push the clutch pedal fully to the floor? It only happens if you push the clutch in 100% and it makes the sound the last half inch before it hits the ground. Its not that loud but its annoying as hell and i feel like im driving some old cheap civic or something.

so basically my clutch is going bad?

i took it to the dealer cuz its really hard to put into 2nd gear, like i have to put an effort to put it into 2nd. the guy said my clutch is going bad and that he doesnt know how much longer it will last. its a hard click when goin into 2nd gear

Well it's completely normal, according to dealers.

This is what you're referring to right?: https://my350z.com/forum/maintenance-and-repair/314531-clutch-tranny-noises-2007-350z-enthusiast-w-vids.html

apart from above (the crazy annoying clicking/can of nails sound/other random sounds) which i have, the clutch pedal assembly actually creaks. Its the actual pedal assembly itself...it has nothing to do with the clutch. It makes the sound like I am opening a door with a rusty hinge.

does anyone else have this?

that's what i'm talking about .Sounds like a creaking/squeeking. I have looked at the pedal itself thinking it was the springs that needed some lube or something. It's not though.

I don't think I have that. Only annoying things I have. Which isn't to annoying is the sound coming from the gear box when going into gears.. I hear it going in and out of gear when I shift. In my civic I heard it from the outside. And my clutch pedal when pushing it out it vibrates like a biitch.. Feels like its spinning and massaging my foot lol.
