Odd Clutch Pedal Behavior and Noise

[BluePonyGT]

I know I'm on the path to a clutch replacement in general. I'm already hearing some noise from the throw-out bearing on cold start-ups although engagement seems to be ok. With 70k miles on the car this sounds a bit soon, but I am hard on it specifically first gear. I live in Seattle and there's some hills and stop/go traffic from time to time, so the clutch does get regular wear and tear. A new clutch will happen this summer. I just need to pick one.

Recently I started hearing some clutch pedal noise and a different feel to the petal. Pushing the pedal in, but specifically letting it out - it sounds like I'm driving an old beat-up toyota pickup with bad springs. LOUD squeaking as the petal comes out. Yikes!

Then recently it feels like the clutch suddenly is engaging about half way down when pushing the pedal in whereas it's always felt consistent. That started last week.

So I have to get under there and figure out what's going on. I've never had to adjust this clutch at all. Has anyone else experienced these types of things with their clutch pedal?

Just read that thread. I bet it is. I guess I have to turn into a pretzel and see if I can inspect the petal pivot for real.

Ok so that thread no longer allows replies. Anyone have a part number to order a new one? Seems like most are having their existing ones welded back together.

Take the seat out and make it easier on yourself to get to it without being a contortionist.

I had this squeaky clutch a while back when I installed my Hitmaster. I just drove the car and the problem corrected itself. Here’s a Video of what it sounded like when I pressed and released the clutch pedal.

My clutch pedal assembly is in the process of breaking at the pivot point. I did some research (probably what others have done), but put my results here:

I get to follow everyone else and get the assembly out of the car, and get it to a weld shop. Yes, taking the front seat out is job #1. I'm too big and inflexible to do this w/ the seat in.
