Weird sound with clutch in

Hello

just wondering if anyone can help me. Recently ive been hearing this weird knocking sound when i hold the clutch pedal all the way down. the sound is very subtle but its there. It also gets louder if my car is in reverse.... and it usually goes away if i let go of the clutch.

any thoughts on what it could be?

lol nice

not too familiar with manual tranny warranty, is this something that might be covered under warranty. i got about 46k miles.

one thing though.... i came to them many times with whining noise concerns when vehicle was still under 36k...

might be a messed up pressure plate, you running performance clutch? i just got centerforce in and the pedal was EXTRA soft and sometimes felt like it didn't wanna spring back, so my mechanic looked at the fluid and everything was fine and figured it was defected pressure plate... getting new one as i type! does your pedal feel light and soft?

It should be covered under your powertrain warranty, which is 5 years/60K miles, I believe... don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure...

if it's not, you would probably have a pretty good chance at forcing them to warranty it, since you reported while you were in the warranty period (less than 3 years and less than 36K miles)

well my pedal was pretty soft from the day i bought the car but never problemsome, it always sprung back up. its strange cause sometimes i get this sound and sometimes i dont, it also kinda depends on the angle my car is at (hill, driveway, etc.)...i guess ill just take it to the dealer see what they say.....eww
