Clutch Pedal Noise / Jerky Feel

My clutch pedal makes a creaking noise/feel and and kinda makes the car hesitate slightly on take off and jerky at on/off throttle. Any ideas? I was thinking CMC seeing as it is a TSB for these 6MT TLs.

PS: Its doesn't creak all the time and seem to drive better when not.

a creaky pedal wont make the car hesitate/jerky shifts.

6MT TL's are the hardest to master the clutch.
this can be due to the hydraulic dual mass flywheel.
it just fucking suxx.

i always feel like a noob driving my car.

If you're talking about a creeking sound and feel from the clutch pedal, just remove the cover under the driver's dash and spray some white lithium grease on the actuation rod and the pedal spring. That should do it.

There was a TSB for a redesigned master cylinder due to the clicking/creaking issue.

Not sure if this would help with the jerky shifting though.

Jerky feel was a bad APP Sensor. Replaced it and it is now driving great. I plan to grease the clutch pedal and see if it helps.

greasing the clutch pedal did nothing for the creak on my car. my clutch pedal has creaked on and off until recently. now it creaks ALL the time. i told my dealer last time it was in for service, they lubed it BUT as soon as i got back in the car...the creak came back. (sigh, i knew it wouldn't work).

so i elected to bring it back at a later time to address the clutch pedal creak. my SA is going to call the acura rep to see if they will cover the cost of the TSB repair (this is where my long service history with them comes to play and owning two acuras will hopefully get the repair covered). for now i drive it with a creaky clutch pedal.
