:wavey Enjoy the site!! :myhappydance: :happydancer:
Assuming you have it connected to the pedal assembly up under the dash correctly, it sounds like you just need to get it adjusted properly. The clicking sound you hear when depressing the pedal is the stock adjuster trying to set itself and pull the slack out of the cable.
General rule of thumb is you need between 1/8" and 1/4" gap between the face of the throw out bearing and the fingers on the pressure plate when the pedal is all the way out at the rest position. You can check this by looking up in the clutch fork opening of the bell with a flashlight and determine the amount of gap between the bearing face and the fingers when not pushing the clutch pedal down.
If you have any slack in the cable at all, the adjuster will pull the slack out by the "clicking" you hear. :bigthumbsup

Get the steeda clutch cable kit. So much easier to adjust and everything is well made. I love it and never regret working under the dash and car to put it in!:gringreen
