Clutch pedal issue

When I press on the Clutch I hear a popping noise.. It happens during the first inch of travel.. If I press slowly it doesn't do it as much..

Brought it to the dealer to have them check it out and the mechanic thinks it is the clutch rod that goes through the firewall is loose or something broke..

They can't work on it until Tuesday so he really hasn't fully checked it out..

Anyone else have this happen or have any ideas on what it could be?

The truck shifts fine otherwise

This is your '06?

I was going to say the pivot shaft (on the clutch pedal rod), but it's a fairly new truck.

Even so, the bushing may have been a POS to begin with.

Yeah it is my 06.. I assume there is a shaft that goes to the master cylinder, but not sure..

Yes, but I was talking about the pivot shaft bushing - where the pedal connects to the clutch pedal mounting bracket....which I'm sure is called another technical name that's unredneck...

It could be that.. I was able to get under there and look at it today and it appear the noise is coming from the top of the cluth pedal.. Couldn't see with all the wires exactly so I will let the tech mess with it..

Yeah, that's the place. If it's still in warranty let them replace it and be done with it.
