i have a 05 TSX with 36k miles on it, i baby the car most of the time.

This morning before i start the car i push the clutch in and notice a clicking noise when it engages. Anyone know what this is? known problem?

I called acura and they will look at it next week...im just hoping its covered under warranty...

any info is appreciated!

EDIT: forgot to mention it is the clutch master cylinder that needs to be replaced.

"1. There are TWO separate problems that people complain about, and they are very similar in sound/feel to the owner.

* Clutch CLICKING. Distinct, crisp CLICK sound at bottom of pedal travel. Also might experience a more subtle click at top of clutch pedal IF the pedal was fully depressed before returning to the top. The cause: Clutch switch. The clutch switch is used to ensure that the pedal is fully pressed in before starting the car. The top "click" is caused by the upper switch, which <I think> is used for the cruise control - sensing if you've pressed the clutch at all. NO TSB has been released yet, but they expect one eventually. They know of the problem and it does happen in some other models as well (RSX has had a few complaints about it, as has the EL (Canada) and a few TL's).

* Clutch CREAKING or SQUEAKING. More of a creak or muted squeak. The cause: inadequately lubricated linkage between the pedal and the clutch master cylinder. This is where the "replace master cylinder" treatment is applied, ALTHOUGH IS NOT FULLY NECESSARY. Just lubricating the linkage with appropriate grease should take care of the problem for a long time. I think the "replace master cylinder" was overkill from the service departments, as until recently, they didn't know the exact cause of the problem, so replacing everything that might squeak was the only feasible solution."

i think mines more of a click...so no solution? maybe greasing it would fix...is this covered under warranty (replacing master cylinder if needed?)
