Well ... it does ... when I depress and release. What the heck is going on? Just the cold? Never heard it this loud before ...

 

sounds annoying... have you ever had it stick and only slowly snap back? It happened to me when it went down below -30C last year.

 

It just needs to be lubed. Mine started squeaking real bad and I took it to the dealer to get lubed up (only takes a sec), but for some reason they wanted to replace the clutch. I told them that it wasn't necessary but they presisted. I didn't have to pay a dime since it was under warranty so I let them.

 

trust me, the lube isn't enough. The first time they did that with mine, it only took 10 days before the creaks/squeaks/clicks came back. Most of the people here have had to have the clutch master cylinder replaced. Chances are phirenze, they replaced your clutch assembly, not the actual clutch itself.

Funny, prov; on mine, the creaks would only come up when the weather's warmer. Was perfect in the cold. I swear, this car must have been put together on a cool day (around 10C/50F) in Japan, cause any colder or warmer than that, odd squeaks and rattles come out. Hmm... mine was built in March 2003. Should be about the right temps in Saiyama back then.

 

prov, try a search noob

lube will only work temporarily. They need to change the cluth master cylinder.

Here is a thread on this problem.
