well it could be a couple of things, for one the clutch bearing is going out and needs to be replaced, thats what i thought anyways when this happen to mine, well after spending 500 bucks and had a new clutch and bearings put in that wasnt the problem, it turns out that there was some sleaves or gearing bad inside of the tranny.

heres what you do, start the car listen for the bearing spin while in nutural...then push the clutch in and see if it stops that will tell you two things either the bearing is bad or there is some thing wrong in the trans.

When in drive and cruzing around mine use to make a noise like when you had a can stuck on the back of your bike wheel to give you that motor cross sound...brrrraaaaaa
well good news is i got it fixed, bad news is it cost me 1100 bucks since i voided my warrenty buy lowering my car, adding bigger rims and headers. this was my extened warrnty...that i payed extra for to...honda was up to fixing it but the other company said na and gave me my money back...punks...so i would take it in ASAP...

There is a TSB regarding this. It involves a dab of grease on the cluth pedal linkage,

My friend who used to work at honda told me that, that was a common problem. See if you can get it fix under warranty. I'm not sure if it covers it or not.

if it squeaks when you push the pedal it it usually is the spring in the pedal assemble. it should be a normal problem. people have come to honda before and we basically are like nothing is wrong with the car.

but the clicking noises. i hope ur car is under warrenty.
