Icon6 Creeking in Clutch Pedal

So my issue is that a creaking sound (like a old door) has started coming from my clutch pedal area when I push down on it. The Clutch pedal is not smooth and light to the push anymore. I am not sure what the issue is. Does anyone have any idea what it could be and how to fix it? I have personally laid next to the clutch pushing it and I can’t seem to see why it would be doing that sound. Im stumped any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

I would spray the clutch pivot points, under the dash, and hope youdon't have the smae problem I had with my 06.

I chased the tough to push down clutch problem, by replacing the hydraulics first and then finally the repair was to replace the clutch, pressure plate and bearing.

If everything up under the dash is fine there may be a new pressure plate in your future also, it was cheap to repair myself $135 for an oem unit, but it took me 2 days of labor.

my clutch squeaked for a while and then went away...i think when people replace their bushings, some people reported noises after the install.

I owned a 95 Honda civic EX it never made any noise from the clutch and it had 145k miles. How difficult is the clutch bushing to replace and what is the price range? It does not do it all the time, for example I did not go anywhere this weekend Sat-Sun then Monday went to work the clutch was not making any noise on the way over there, once I left work it started again, now it does it all the time, it pop/crèches/ w/e you want to call that noise when I push the pedal all the way to the floor. The performance of the car is solid and the gear shifts are smooth it is just the clutch pedal area where I am annoyed by this problem.

That’s what I am trying to get to the bottom of this, I have read around and there is a lot of people saying different things but no one has a solid, This is what is wrong with it, this is what you have to do.
I have gone on youtube people with the same noise/problem as me and still no solution. Im F!n Pissed. I just want a solution.

its your clutch master causing the noise. I have done quite a few of them in the newer civics. honda actually has a service bulletin on them.
if you have warranty.....just bring it back to the dealership
