odd sound from clutch pedal?

ok this is odd, my car has started to make like a rubbing sound from the clutch pedal when its SLOWLY released, like starting from first. it will do it for awhile then go away. i had a guy tell me it was a clutch pedal bushing so i ordered it and have not put it on yet(NO TIME) but could this be it? anyone know if it may be something else? thanks!

Mine does that when starting in second gear, as when driving in snow. It's done it since new, and has never been a problem. I never hear it in 1st, only in 2nd when I'm letting the clutch out slowly to get moving from a stop.

I'm not too worried about mine.

No, mine doesn't feel any different, just makes a little noise once in a while.

mine makes noise and I can feel the "notchiness" when I let the pedal out slow. It's the pedal bushings. Not a big deal (can be lubed up).......and it is a common issue with Mitsu clutch pedals (same thing happened on my Eclipse). Happens more often when it is cold.

Mine squeaks sometimes normally winter only. Again this car is not for winter or cold climates it seems to hate it.
