Clutch Pedal

When i depress my pedal there is a spot of very mild resistance and it makes a soft click noise when i go past it. This happens with the car out of gear and has done it since mile 0. My 07 MCS did not make this noise. How worried should i be? Granted i have waited nearly 13k so far...

Sounds like the pedal return spring is wonky. Should be a simple fix, either by you looking down there and seeing if you can tweak it back into place, or by your local stealership.

Mine is the same way. They replaced the return spring and it didn't change anything.

I noticed that on my '10 MCS as well that wasn't there on the '07. The '10 has the hill-assist brake that I didn't have before, which seems to 'click' right around the same point, so I'm naturally wondering if there's a connection...?

Take it mine did something similar and they replaced the whole clutch pedal assembly. Warranty is always worth more then second guessing yourself.

My 07 also had the hill assist so i do not think that is related. I think i will just schedule a service visit next time i am there for car wash.

It's either the pivot on the Clutch Master hitting in its bracket (fixed by cutting a plastic washer into a C shape and installing it on the pivot rod) or the clutch pedal itself has a portion of plastic that hits on part of the plumbing for the slave cylinder. That is fixed by grinding or filing a small portion of your clutch pedal.... I know it sounds extreme, but you'll see when you look at it. The problem with putting your head down there and using your hand to opperate the clutch, is it doesn't go at the same angle as your foot would, so its hard to re-create the noise. Good luck
