I own a 06 Si with 38k on the clock.

I am noticing a weird plastic sounding popping noise when i let the clutch out in 1st gear only. It only happens at extremely low rpm's, around 500-1500 rpm's. i only notice it when im taking off from a light slowly. The clutch dosent seem to be slipping so im not sure if its the clutch or what. The noise seems to be cumming from the left driver side of the car or the middle of the car. Also, if i sit in one spot with the ebrake on and let the clutch out half way and hold it for a second or two i can duplicate the noise.

Not sure what to do here. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

maybe your dealership will listen to it for free?

 

Ya, it really has to be heard in person. Hoping someone might of had a similar issue or something.

 

definitely worth a shot if you can replicate it every time while parked

 

^x2. well spoken.. well typed ben.
you should be a mod

 

I have had the exact same problem with my 07 Si since I bought it. A wierd squeaking, popping sound, but I get it when I release the clutch in higher gears the odd time, or when I am gearing down as well sometimes. I have had it at the dealer about 5 times now. They replaced the clutch master cylinder for me for free, and lubed the crap out of the "pivot" every time I have gone in. But all temporary fixes. I just learned to live with it.
