If it feels abnormal though see your dealer-

Yeah, the weird part is that I can feel it too. A sound is fine, but if I can feel it, it has to be caused mechanically. The clutch pedal feel is not smooth anymore. Just called the dealer. Bringing it in on Monday to get them to test drive it.

remember ask them to do it when the car is warm and been driven for a while.

every morning when I go to work, this creaking sound doesn't happen, it only starts to happen when I get home from work.

not a major problem but annoying.

Yup! Same thing I noticed today. When getting off to work, it was fine, then it started creaking about 10 minutes later.

My car makes that creaking sound as well...

My old car as well made that kind of sound as well when the clutch is pressed. With my old car i asked the service department to fix it. They did but it only lasted for 1 month then the sound came back...

I have decided to live with the noise because i think its a normal sound coming from manuals. Also maybe due to the fact that maybe i have a hard left foot

ive had this problem for a while now, sum days louder than others
and comes and goes when it feels like... but u do kinda feel the squeek thru the clutch as well.
My mechanic advised not to worry about it , does no harm but if i wanted
to get it fixed he'd need to get into the gearbox to properly lubricate it
and it wasnt really worth the hassle to do this..
i've heard of this problem be4 with other honda owners , mainly accords
so its obviously common

Just got back from the dealer. The tech heard the sound and told the service dude to book it in. So on Thursday my baby's going under the knife...

let us know the results Aaron!

They got one of their mechanics to take a look. So he heard the sound and told the service counter guy to book the car in. Hehe, I hope it is a longer lasting fix that just using lube on the creaky bits.

Got the car back. From the report, all they did was lube the clutch pedal spring. Oh well... it is heaps smooth now, and gear changing is so much smoother without those "notches" on the clutch pedal travel. We'll see how long this repair lasts.

I actually had the same problem with my '95 accord. couple months later she just dropped all the fluid in the master clutch cyc. real fun when your driving home from work with no clutch. After new master clutch cyc was installed she was all good, even no creaks from the clutch, so keep an eye on that fluid level.
