Hi there,
I have a Mazda 626 '91 with manual transmission. Today the clutch pedal started clicking when engaged/disengaged.
The source of the sound seems to be rather close to the pedal itself, although it is rather hard to pinpoint exactly.
Past winter at low outside temperatures the clutch pedal gave a lot of resistance, which is probably due to ice crystals in the clutch fluid. As the car warmed up the resistance went back to normal.
Now, a couple of weeks ago the clutch almost stopped working (I could barely change the gears), and it turned out that the fluid reservoir was empty. Once I added more fluild the clutch pedal started to work again. Since then the pedal was becoming more and more firm, I think due to the air bubbles somehow escaping and the system is returning to the normal state.
However, now the pedal started clicking. Any ideas of what this could be? My hope is that more air bubbles will escape, and the clicking will go away.
Any ideas what this clicking noise is? If it does not go away, what should I do to fix it?
Thanks! Mike
