Click noise when releasing clutch. What is this?

I'm getting a strange clicking noise from the clutch when I release it in first gear. I am also getting clicks while downshifting into 3rd, 2nd, and 1st along with a single click coming from the passenger side of the car when I accelerate from a low speed in first gear and when I let of the gas in first gear. Any idea What is causing these clicks?

So the master cylinder will be replaced free of charge with this TSB?

This doesnt really seem like the pedal though, the noise is the loudest on the passenger side of the car. As if it is coming from one of the wheels.

^^No. If under warranty still, yes. No warranty...No freebie.

I had this done. My TL was WAY outside the warranty period and way outside the time frame of when this TSB was released. by 2011, my factory warranty was up.

I had the click and "rub" noise everytime i stepped on the clutch which was annoying! dealer tried to lube it, but no help. went ahead with the TSB fix...replaced the MC cylinder with updated one. no more clicks or rubs. I ended up with 50% goodwill from Acura to replace after my SA went to bat for me.
