Click when pushing the clutch all the way down

[monkeydust]

I've been noticing a clicking sound when I push the clutch about all the way down recently (and clicks again when I release it). I can remember it doing it before about a week ago or so.

Anybody know what this is and if it is normal?

Probably the assist spring up on the clutch pedal or the switch, a little grease can do miracles.

The click all the way down and coming back up is the switch that lets you turn the engine on. Should have always been there, I think

That could be. I just never heard it before.

Ya know, I bet I know why. I recently hooked up my iPod to the Aux connection on my Becker. Often I'll start the car up with the radio in Aux and then start my iPod. Before that, I'd the radio would always be playing as I push the clutch down and start the car. :)

yeah, stupid switch.... At least on the boxster is was reversed (active when depressed) and you could tie wrap it in "active" position and never hear it again. On the 996 it's active when not depressed extended, so you really cannot do anything ! Click, click... ;-)

Well, the good news is that it is supposed to make that sound. The last thing I want is another thing that I have to fix on this car. It's been a money pit for me so far!
