Just got back from a drive.

10 minutes in, I noticed a "clicking" sensation when pressing the clutch in. Nothing when releasing.

Grabbed a video for audio once back in garage:


I had the entire assembly replaced / upgraded to 4.0 parts ~1500 miles ago when the 3.8 PP went.

Fluid related? Clutch pedal spring? Throwout Bearing? Thanks in advance!

Different than my clutch noise I had which was more of a metal on metal squeak as the tob slid over the guide tube. Did they do the guide tube and fork when they replaced your setup? Sounds like fork is skipping on tob. Does it do all the time?

Will have to confer with the dealership as it isn't immediately clear from the invoice.

I did dig this up though:

"Hey Mike, all shims have been fitted to the gear box. We did run in to a small issue, nothing serious but the release bearing that was shipped was incorrect- however the proper one will be here tomorrow and then we can get everything back together."

The issue was consistent once it started though every once in awhile, it only makes 3 clicks instead of 4. I'll check tomorrow AM when things have cooled.

Update: Issue persists when everything is cold - going in today.

Update:

Mechanic advised a full-on replacement of the entire clutch assembly to rule out any issues.

As they disassembled the fork / guide tube, they noticed some broken needle bearings. Replaced the aforementioned parts and are now good to go!

@SpyerX - you were right!

Are there any other possibilities for this noise. My car makes the exact same sound. Took the car to a local indy, and since the clutch was worn anyway did a full replacement to the 4.0 setup. Got the car back and no sounds at first, but after about 100 mi the sound came back.
