Go the simple route first. Get your head down there under the dash and push the pedal in with your hands. Chances are it is just the the hinge between the bracket and pedal arm that is making noise. A little greese/oil should cure that. If it is more serious than that, then your next words should be to the local dealers service advisor "hello, yea I need this fixed."

the wierd part is it actually sounds like it's coming from under the hood,and when I get under there and push it in with my hand I can feel it in the rubber pad of the pedal,if that makes any sense??.anyways she is going to the stealership in the morning just to be sure.I have put grease on every possible moving part under there,don't want to take any chances(I HATE TAKING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER!!!)

tell me about it!.they told me yesterday they had to order the part,and it would be here in the morning which would be this morning,and the techs do not come in until 8:00am,the service chucklehead just called me and said my truck was ready at 8:00am.he said it came in late yesterday and they fixed it? I just can never trust stealerships.whatever happen to customer service and honesty,I hope it is fixed,and fixed right...we will see.....

I was about to reply with what MazdaRangerGuy said, 2nd gear starts aren't any good at all, wears that clutch out really fast, which may make you an "easy going driver" but I'll tell ya that replacing your clutch won't be fun.
