click sound from clutch pedal
 

i know lots of people have posted threads about knocks from the clutch...i have a click sound directly from the clutch pedal. it's like in the pivot point. does anyone else have this too?
thanks :)

Yeah, I've noticed that too. A click at the very top of pedal travel. Seems to be more pronounced when it's hot. I don't notice it in the morning after it's sat in the cool garage, but when I leave work, after it's been sitting in the sun for 9 hours, I really notice it.

this started for me today!!!!!!

so Now I have a clutch click to go with the clutch clunk!!

is this normal or is something about to go bad?

I believe this is normal. I have it also.

Think it's normal. Our clutch seems to be pretty noisy for a stock setup. Kind of odd, with the cold-startup noise, the clicking, and a lot of engagement noise...

thanks coaster and DanGizinski;

To be clear I am talking about a click not the clunk; This click also happens when the car is not on... and If I engage the clutch...

I just learned to accept this feature we have with our cars :-) But yes, I feel a click. I only get the clunk on the 1->2 gear change.

ok thanks. I agree clunk is 1->2 at low RPMs...

does your click happen even if the car is not on? how many miles do you have on the car?

also is this related? (http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...low-speed.html)

thanks,

no, actually this was caused by lack of lubrication in the rear axles, which was remedied by the dealer lubricating it under warranty. however, i do occationally get a faint click from the clutch near the top of its travel. on the other hand, the brake pedal makes multiple clicks throughout its range of travel. i have no idea what causes it. i may try to take apart the pedal assembly and lube it with wd 40 or whatever and see what happens.

Have you heard any sound when you press on the brake pedal(engine on)...nissan tech say this is normal(low grade clunking sound) :(

yeah, some clicking sound that seems to be coming from the pedal assembly itself. it's almost like the sound of a ratchet when you turn it. i inspected it and nothing seems out of the ordinary. when i have time, i'll probably try and take the pedal apart and inspect it in more detail and probably lube it, though the service manual says to remove the entire steering column in order to remove the brake pedal :ugh2:

My 350z had the same click sound in the clutch. If its like my old 350 then its the safety for disengaging cruise control that you hear.

The clicking sound is the sound of all the beautiful unicorns and ponnies under the hood. The louder it gets the happier they are, you are one lucky driver!

please update date us on your finds, thxs.

can you explain? my clicks will happen even if the car is not on.... so cruise control is not in the picture at that time...

are others able to recreate the sound with the car no on?

I have the same click, and it happens even if the car is off. Unless the cruise control cutoff is mechanically connected to the clutch pedal linkage, I doubt it's that, but I suppose it's possible.

It was years ago on my 2003 350z. The clutch made the same sound up untill the day i sold it. I took it into a dealer one time and thats what they told me unless they were full of it. But i owned the car for 6 years and the click never went away nor did it get worse. Nissan engineering?

its not Nissan engineering, its the unicorns clucking around in the engine. Nissan put them there to make more ponnies under the hood.......just dont worry about it

do you get it on your 40th? its not that easy to not worry about it!.

its gone today!!..

I didnt drive the car all day, in the evening it was gone... WTH?

UPDATE: So I finally took the car in to the dealer for the squeaking clutch pedal problem. The tech tried to lube it with a ton of WD 40. That didn't work so they ordered a new clutch pedal and replaced mine under warranty a couple of days ago. The new pedal is much quieter and is not making any sounds.

man i know this thread its old but... damn my 2013 Z start today with this fvcking noise and i hate him :-( anyone know what i can do? im going to call the dealer tomorow and see what happened.

Just a technical note, WD-40 is a cleaner, not a lubricant, it displaces whatever is there so don't use it long term as a lubricant.
Just saying

Im going to try with grease in spray and see what happened

I know this thread is old, but did anyone find anything else out about this? My 2014 just started this at 1700 miles :-(

well my friend i take the car to the dealer and they take care about it...

anyway... the sound come back and i give up:icon14:... with the time the sound go and im happy now lol!!! the sound just come some times... and go back again hahaha!!!
