I have no idea what its from. I had my mechanic friend take a look and he was baffled too. any sort of ideas would help, its getting frustrating because I don't know what it is so I can't even attempt to get rid of this noise.

The reason i say it might be the clutch pedal, is because it sort of sounds like its coming from the clutch pedal area lol. I removed the clutch helper spring and it was fine for a week. after some hard pulls it started. a few days it was fine but now its starting to get unbearable. AGAIN, I do need help so any sort of ideas or solutions would be gladly appreciated!

For some reason I only see your avatar...



Sounds like two pieces of plastic rubbing together or glass against rubber. Is there any fitment issue with the side window?

I agree with Gadgetech that it sounds like plastic rubbing. I'd try using a paper towel roll pressed to the ear or a directional microphone to pinpoint the source.

Styrofoam rubbing against itself ! Check and see if u may have disturbed some thing under the dash when pulling the helper spring out of clutch pedal ! Could be the rubber grommet in the fire wall that the clutch passes threw ...... To the clutch master cylinder!

Well I would think once the forum mods see your avatar they will ask you to change it. So guys enjoy while it last.
