Anyone ever have this sound?

Whenever im engaging the clutch in gear, say rolling start, or shifting into another gear, I hear a springing sound, i think from my clutch. But, if the car is not in gear, no sound. Sounds like somethign needs oil. Anyone ever have this?

Yeah, I've had that sound. Only in cool/cold weather. There would be no pattern to it, though, meaning it didn't happen every time I drove the car. Kinda happened at random. It sounded like the clutch spring needed some type of lubrication. Hasn't done it in a while, so I never got around to doing that.

I have the same thing. I never took the extra step to try to lube it up. It does sound like a spring.

I have a clicking sound whenever I press in my clutch. Mine clicks where the red arrow is pointing.



I am going to try and put some grease on it to see if it helps.

It usually makes the noise during the press and the release. It is very annoying to say the least.

Bushing? where, hey, today when i was driving, i thought i noticed it with the cluth engaing or anything, when i was gassing it. Yet, i was really paying attention. Im not to worried. This car has alot more sounds then my 2001, but I have more warranty. Also, woke up today, went to go play golf, and noticed my back left tire flat.....8 or 10 psi. Even noticed the tire wall all marked up. Good thing I hardly drive....6700 KM in like 6 months....So, i doubt i caused any damage. 12 hours have passed since i filled, and PSI has stayed the same. Oh well.
