even when car off, the clutch pedal "clicks".

im positive its just something i need to adjust with a wrench...has anyone been thru this problem before?

 

do a search!

 

my ish sounds like orville reddenbacher having a party down there

 

I just posted about this yesterday.

I believe it is my carbon fiber JDM ferret going bad. Does anyone know where I can get a new one?

 

mine does too.. i think mine might be the pedal itself though.. gotta do some clutch pedal work anyhow(thanks exedy), so i'll know for sure by next week..

 

Mine clicks every now and then, usually when i first get into the car and press down the clutch, but ive never had any problems so far with sticking or anything of that nature. Im still using the stock clutch too and i just turned 52k miles.

 

I don't get any noise when the engine is off, but I have always got a slight ring between shifts while driving, ever since the day I brought it home from the dealer.

 

i only get a click when the weather is hot down here in great, wonderful sunny socal. but other than that, everything is smooth and beautiful down there in the left foot pedal.

 

I get the same thing as newt2 gets. annoying, but it doesn't seem to be affecting anything (or so i think). Also, my pedal clicks. I believe some tightening of nuts/bolts down there would do the trick.

One other thing: (slightly OT, sorry) When I start my car and push my shifter to the right (before I pull down towards Reverse), it makes a slight 'ping' sound when going from the Neutral position to middle-right (between 5th and R). (clutch in or out, makes no difference) It only happens when I first turn the car on. After driving around through the gears, if I return to R, it does not make the ping ever again. Any ideas? I was thinking it had to do with trans fluid level, but that could be TOTALLY wrong! Any idears?

I have the exactly same problem on my g/f's EK... I'm thinking either a broken spring or throwout bearing starting to go sour.

Anyone else know what's exactly going out?

 

Stock Pressure Plate? Could be those spring seats starting to come loose. They like to do that.

 

I had the problem, and still do. Took it to acura 3 times. The click you're describing is a loud popping noise, also you can feel the kickback on your foot when you release the clutch pedal right? Acura said they shaved off some stuff, had to crack open the tranny, and then they said they replaced the slave or master cylinder, I forgot.. but either way it didn't go away and is still there. I've learned to live with it. Comes and goes every so often.

 

i have the clicking problem as well. sometimes it also sticks a little bit. i talked to a mechanic and he said it deals with the clutch itself and not the pedal. it happens and there is really no fix to it except replacing it with an aftermarket. changing the clutch fluid seemed to help a little....

 

Mine is doing the exact same thing. It started after I picked her up from the 30K mile service. I'll get a click when i push disengage the clutch, and sometimes also when lifting back to engage. I've tried slower and faster engagements, but does't make a difference. This has gone on for a few days, and then last night I was driving and noticed the clicking had gone away completely. I reached my destination, car was parked for a couple of hours, resumed driving and the clicking returned, but not as much as the days previous. ???

The sound is definitely coming from the inside the car, not the tranny. I think its a pedal mechanism. If the problem persists I'll take her in.

 

btw, clicking seem to happen at around 50,000 miles on stock clutch...

 

In the past i have had both a click and a squeak / shudder in the pedal on my '94 GSR. The squeak / shudder went away when the clutch had to be replaced due to a broken spring retainer. My feeling is that it had to do with the plunger contact on the fork in the pressure plate or something with the springs themselves on the PP. I fixed the click with grease on the spring at the pedal. You may also be able to take this spring off and fix it though it will change the feel of the clutch pedal.

 

mines at 35000 about mine clicked, then I got a new cluth OEM form acura and now it clicks everytime.. and then I geuss when it's really hot out it clicks liek 3 times when u let off the clutch outside of it being an annoying sound I don't think it's doing anything?

 

Mines did the same thing. I brought it to the dealer and they replaced the clutch cylinder pushrod. So far so good no clicking but i can fee the clutch will be giving out sometime in the not too distant future

 

mine started to click after i replaced my clutch in favour of a new '01 spec ITR clutch w/ new throw out and pilot bearings

i also replaced my clutch MC, but i doubt that has anything to do w/ it

i just learned to live w/ it and ignore the clicking noise, u can even hear it just by placing ur foot on the clutch pedal and tapping it

 

i had been thinking that greasing the spring would do the trick.. hmm..

it's possible to just change out the pushrod? awesome.. i need to put an OEM one back on so I can actually make the adjustment that the Exedy bulliten suggests.. any idea how much the part was?

 

mine clicks as well, but it is due to aftermarket pedals being made shittily

 

I'll post up the part # + price when i get home

 

Mine is yet another R with the infamous clicking clutch pedal, and yes, my clicking comes and goes as it pleases. I try to ignore it until it leaves or I'll shift without pushing the clutch in far enough to activate the click. I've got some warranty time left, so I'll have it looked into.

 

this click/popping clutch syndrome isn't limited to Rs...
my 94 gsr did the same ****...

 

my friends GSR does it but it's barely audible u can totally notice it on the ITR
