Why is the clutch in my 2013 Holden Barina Spark making a clicking noise?

Asked by Maggy

I've noticed a clicking noise coming from clutch when it’s released in my 2013 Holden Barina Spark. It sounds like it's coming from under the dash. Very hard to locate exactly. What could it be?

A sharp clicking noise from under the dashboard when you press or release the clutch is almost certainly going to be down to a sticky or dry clutch-pedal pivot. It could also be the clutch cable itself, but for the 2013 model year, Holden switched to a hydraulic clutch for the Barina, so that rules out a cable noise. But I’ll stick with the theory that something connected to the clutch pedal is either sticking or dragging against something under there are causing the noise; there’s a fair bit going on under the dash of a modern car. A few minutes with a torch, a keen ear and a can of penetrating fluid might yield a good result.
