Ok this one just started tonight. When I put my foot down oh about half way there's a kind of click sound and then it happens again when you let the clutch out. It's not affecting the driving it's just pretty anoying. Any help would be appriciated.

possible binding of the throwout bearing to input shaft housing of trans. Or the release arm binding on its pivot. Thats my guess.

This may sound really stupid... but if you're listening to AM stations on the radio, turn it off... when i take out a cd and it's on AM and press the clutch i hear clicks, just a suggestion. Probably very far fetched and i'm assuming you're smart enough to figure that one out on your own.

Well actually you can hear it in the cockpit as well as the from the engine and it doesn't matter if the car is on or off you can still do it by pressing the pedel down and it will make the sound on the way down and then back up. Also how hard would it be to fix those parts if they are in fact binding???

I don't think you can get to them with the trans in the car. I know that removing it seems a task but it would be the right way to fix it.
Remove trans, check clutch, replace throwout bearing, clean and lube all contacts.

Just a side note. My sister had the same problem and I messed with it for a year then took out the trans fixed it right and its been fine since.

I have the same problem, but I haven't went as far as going into the engine compartment to listen. Mine is just a little "click" when I depress and release the clutch. I felt down around pin that connects the arm to the pedal from the clutch master - by holding it while depressing the clutch, the clicking quit. I figure it needs an additional washer or something around the connecting pin. Might want to check that before your pull everything apart.... Good luck!

I assume you are talking about noise from near the actual pedal, as you said "Clutch pedal sound"

Clutch pedal switch a little noisey? (switch to indicate the clutch has been pushed in?...(Do you have cruise?)
Mine clutch pedal squeeks when I press it.
Either that or the adjusting nut mght be loose. Stick your head down there and have a look.

Guys I don't think this is even a "problem". I'm pretty sure it's just the sound of the gear "clicking" into place. My car does it every once and a while, with no effect on drivability.

Also, in one of my movie clips of a 3rd gen. drag racing, you can hear a very similar sound. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
