Clicking noise when you press down on the clutch.

There is a clicking noise when you press down on the clutch.

Is this normal?

Is this bad?

on my mk4 supra, I have a high-pitched clicking noise when the clutch is not pressed in, i think its the throwout bearing.

this probably doesnt help you at all.

If you are talking about a clicking noise when the clutch is to the floor then, yes, it is normal. It's the pedal hitting the microswitch that has to be depressed when you start the car (try starting the car with the clutch up, it won't). If not, then no it's not normal.

I have a clicking noise. When you press on the pedal, you can hear it and happens again when you let off the pedal right? I took mine to the dealer and he told me that my clutch and throwout bearing had to be replaced. It only happens when the car is warmed up.

For DSMs, that was one of the warning signs for crank walk! Pushing down on the clutch caused one of the sensors (crank angle sensor ?? can't remember) to touch and eventually become shaved down to the point of breakage.

It is probably the clutch start switch as stated above. Tell us when you hear the noise, is it when the pedal is at or on the floor.
If so it is completely normal.

There is no evidence of any crankwalk issues on the Evo engine so far and I doubt Mitsu would not have learned thier lesson.

You are not understanding my problem.

This click noise occurs when the car has been started in neutral at a standstill in my driveway. Not when I am driving.

At a stand still I get a click noise when I press down the clutch.

I dont' hear anything. I had a throw out bearing going out on my car and i'm guessing there is too much slack between the throwout bearing and pressure plate. I just hope your throwout bearing doesn't pop out of the pressureplate causing your clutch to fail.

I've heard purposely making larger tolerence so the clutch fails rather than your trans?

For your infomation before mine when bad the clutch pedal started to vibrate. So no virbration on clutch pedal during depressing, no worries i guess.
