2K2 Clutch Noise Question

This noise is from my 2K2 6M (no HLSD)

After I use reverse or even 1st when I release the clutch pedal to change gears or put the car in neutral I hear a spring pinging noise. This noise does not happen all the time but usually after the car has been sitting. It only has 1700 miles.

I am guessing it may be the pedal itself but I am not mechanically inclined and the Search was not helpful. Any ideas???

take a look under your car

could be a frayed piece of your flywheel or any debris down there coming in contact with the clutch assy.

if you look under your car and dont see anything, def take it to the dealer and duplicate the problem for them.

Is the sound heard from outside the car as well? If only inside, then I would have to agree with your assessment.
