First Mustang...clicking sound when pressing clutch!
Ok so I recently purchased a 2002 6 Cylinder Mustang, and while I love it, it has been giving me many problems already. The issue is that when I press down the clutch pedal a little bit in I hear this very rapid and repeating clicking sound that seems to be coming from the bottom of the engine.
The clicking doesn't happen when the car is idling or when I press the clutch down all the way, it only happens when I have it pressed in a little bit. Needless to say, the clicking is most apparent when I have the car in reverse, when I go from neutral to first, or when I go from first to second. The clutch seems to be working fine and I have no problem switching gears, but the clicking sound is extremely annoying. Any idea if this is something normal or what it can be? I'd appreciate any advice!

And it just hooks in place.
The fun part is dropping the tranny just to do it. LOL!
If there is much wear on the clutch at all, it's usually worth it to do the entire kit. Pilot bearing, throw out bearing, clutch and possibly the pressure plate.
I bought a used GT recently. I think I'll have to do that too some day.
My throw out bearing is fairly quiet though so nothing too soon.

One small detail... you said you have a V6... this particular forum is for the 4.6l V8s. There is another forum on here for the V6s which may prove more helpful for you in the long run.

Check with someplace like Aamco or any fairly reputable transmission place; just tell them the car and it sounds like the throwout bearing is going and you want to know about how much it would be to get it replaced, and you might as well ask about the cost with the clutch too. As mentioned, the parts are relatively inexpensive, it is the labor that is going to ream you. With OEM type parts, you are probably looking at $700 - $1000 (with replacing clutch and everything). If you could do it, or had friends that could, it is only about $300 in parts.
