Clutch pedal click sound after driving hard?

wdkwang · 03-09-2011, 12:24 AM

So I decided to rip it up today at an empty abandoned field and give drifting a go with my buddy riding shotgun. Threw it around and managed to hold 1 for maybe about 2 seconds. You can imagine it going something like this, "oooooooooo000000oohhhh yaaaAAAAaaa ::high five:: wo0000oo."
Anyways, tried some power shifting, J turns, and practiced double clutching. I did burn the clutch one and grinded the twice, though.

After I started driving back, I noticed there is a clicking sound coming from the clutch pedal whenever I release the clutch. Anyone have an idea what's going on or experienced this before?

Mine clicks like that all the time now and it just started doing it. My G coupe did the same thing for a long time too, I don't think its a huge deal.

it shouldn't be anything significant but it does sound annoying and bothers me now that my pedal sounds like plastic

Clutch Popping sound

I left a comment on your thread, but it seems like you're talking about a pop sound, where as mine sounds more distinctively like a click sound with every clutch release.

No mine is a click sound too, I guess I just explained it wrong. But its definitely a click and only does when the clutch is warmed up after some driving. Never happens first start of the day.

Did you seriously just say you double clutched?

Please explain by what you mean by this.... I have a feeling I'm going to want to headbutt my own face.
