If you got it installed at Acura all their parts carry a 1 year 12k mile warranty.

You can ask them that question over the phone. Better than us guessing... Sounds to me like its worth a phone call.

If you just 'touch' the boot, then it doesn't make any sense at all.

If you push on the throw-out fork, which is under that boot, then you're changing the load on the throw-out bearing. If this changes the noise, then it makes sense for it to be the T-O bearing. Sometimes they get loose & rattle, but resting your foot lightly on the clutch pedal puts just enough load on it to quiet down. Other times they're noisy with load, quiet when unloaded.

If they say its NOT warranty, try greasing the slave piston rod inside the small rubber bellows. Also lubricate the ball/socket at the end of the rod, where it pushes against the T-O fork. Maybe that'll work, maybe not...
