hmm think you need to be more specific (what kinda of noise? screeching? whirling? scraping? and when does it happen? idle? under acceleration?)

Maybe the ABS self-check? Could be mistaken as coming from the clutch, although it happens in all weather. More specifics needed.

could be 2 things.

one it could be the throw out bearing rattle. this is normal for this transmission but some have had problems related to the bearing.

second could be the dynamic damper bracket on the transmission. did you have the recall work done for this dynamic damper yet?

I think I have this same rattle type noise...just started today...seems like it is coming from under my feet while driving...really notice it at low speeds...almost sounds like your driving over road reflectors...or maybe what it would sound like if you were driving with a flat driver side front tire...weird sound..haven't figured it out yet

rxmike,

I think this is the answer to both our problems:

bonjour rxmike.

je pense que le probleme est avec le "bearing de throwout", ce qui est un bruit whizzing normal de cette conception de transmission.

excusez mon francais, je dois faites le programme traducteur.

Is it like a screeching sound. Only happens when you first move the car? if so, mine does this too. I don't think it's anything to worry about.
