My clutch pedal makes a clicking noise?

It's likely to be the clutch pin making this clicking sound. It wears over time creating a grove that will eventually catch the clutch pedal and hold it down to the floor. There have been a few threads on this in the past.
Pain to crawl up under there to fix and most easily accomplished with the drivers seat out. There's a diagram of the clutch pedal assembly also on Paragons site which shows the the part in the assembly though it does not have a number associated with it. Here's a link to the part that gets worn and likely needs to be replaced. https://www.paragon-products.com/Clu...423.387.00.htm
Good luck.

An old post, but just some info for someone who may stumble upon this. My son's 944 turbo model had said click when you would push in the clutch. I puzzled over it for a long time and finally tracked it to a cracked firewall. The flexing of the crack made a click sound. It was the craziest thing.

On a similar note, my clutch pedal always hits the floor when I shift. Just installed a new master cylinder, and I have the clevis at the end maxed out as far as it will go. I measured the movement of the slave cylinder at the bell housing...moves around 22mm which is more than usual from what I've heard. Is there something that should stop the pedal from moving so far?

In any manual car, you're supposed to (dis)engage the clutch fully at each shift and to ensure that, you're supposed to push the clutch pedal to the floor. This is not a problem.
However, make sure your free play is adjusted properly. Having the clevis "maxed out" doesn't sound right. There should be 3mm of play at the pedal--very difficult to measure. It feels just like the free play at the brake pedal. Watch this (and read the description):

There is a clutch pedal return spring that returns the clutch pedal to the upper position. Otherwise the OMG big spring will force the pedal over center and it will stay there until you manually pull it back up. I am having trouble with this return spring. This is a small, pull type spring with hooks on both ends. There is a hole in the clutch pedal arm with a hole in it. For the life of me, I cannot find the forward attachment point for the other end of the spring. The car is an '83 basic car. Any help in locating this attachment point would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Yep..same as the brake pedal return spring..got the numbers out of the PET. I can find the brake pedal spring and it goes forward toward the dash and cluster..Presume the clutch pedal spring does the same.LORD help anyone trying to change out that one! You can only feel it..Would probably take a mirror to do the job. Too many cables and weldments around the steering shaft to make things somewhat easier to navigate around. just sayin Thanks, Dan.
