Question Weird Clutch feedback!!!

Started about 2 days ago for no apparent reason. There is a quite noticeable feedback from the clutch pedal when I’m almost done releasing it. The sound and feel in the pedal is comparable to clicking a Snapple bottle cap, its that flat metal popping sound. I'm thinking of taking it in to the dealer in the next couple of days to get looked at, which is too bad because the car has about 1500km on it.

Has anybody had a similar experiance?

I have almost 900 miles on my coupe and just started experiencing the same clicking noise. Once the clutch gets about 1/8 of the way down I can feel a little resistance and then a click... Not really sure what it is. I was hoping a little lube would do the trick - never hurts to try.

definitely not... the click occurs at the very beginning when the clutch is barely pressed.

no, the clutch has already been long engaged, and only happens when you are releasing the pedal, ie taking your foot off. and during all this time the clutch functions fine, its just this damn feedback. Also it doesnt seem to be there when the tansmission is cold...

Lots of people have reported the same thing. You're pretty much screwed if you're having problems this early on. I'm one of the lucky ones who has no clutch issues at all, but the fact of the matter is that there are tons of clutch complaints all over the forum. Just search.
