Clutch pedal click sound
Alright well I waited to post this until after I got the slave cylinder replaced but nothing changed.
Everytime I get out of 1st, or disengage the clutch while shifting, a click (sounds more like "TUP") sound occurs. This isn't that clutch sound some people were worried about when they first bought the car, this sound is coming from inside the cabin. It seriously started out of nowhere one day, and I cannot find out where it's coming from because it only happens when the car is moving, and I obviously can't stick my head down there while I'm driving. I'm taking it in Monday to get it checked out.
Any thoughts?

i get a clicking type sound too. i know that its coming from the clutch pedal and is caused by the spring isolators being broken/missing, so when i press the clutch in the spring rotates in the pedal assembly and clicks from the friction. i would say you should press on the pedal while looking up into the clutch pedal assembly and see if you notice anything strange

i took a look down there yesterday and couldn't find out where the sound was coming from. the problem, again, is that it only happens when i'm actually driving. i can hear a faint version of the click when i just press in the clutch, but it's not loud enough to find out what part is clicking. i'll investigate it more, but i have an appointment with the dealership first thing monday morning. hopefully i get some good news out of it.

is it a slight click? if so its probally just the button that depresses so you can start your car. Look at your clutch pedal and depress it and you'll see it presses a button near the end... this is so you can start your motor

No, I know the button you're talking about. This is a serious click sound, more like a pop/click.
Anyway, just got off the phone with the dealership. They've ordered a new master cylinder and clutch pedal assembly for me. Should be in next week - I'll let you guys know how this goes after this installation.

Hmm...I have an '08 and noticed the clicking sound maybe a couple of months ago. It's both the clutch pedal depressed ever so lightly and the brake pedal. Nothing bad i assume but it's definitely noticeable with the windows up.

also have the click. Slave has been done and ive been leaking clutch fuid ever since. It gets to go back one last time... its not mine no more at that point. No fluid on the ground however, so guys check your clutch fluid. It leaks real slow, then after about 2kmiles on the recall work it started leaking a whole resevoir every two days.

This just in:
My car is now making a clinking, loose metal piece, sound that seems to be around the middle of the cabin. Might be something loose in the transmission (great).
Looks like I'll have another thing for the dealership to check out.
