Clicking noise coming from slave cylinder T56

So I just installed my new pre-bled slave / master cylinder unit, the pedal feel is perfect but every once in awhile i hear a clicking sound coming from the slave cylinder, very soft. I'm not too worried about it but just wondering what this can be. I haven't driven the car yet since the install. I changed the slave / master per my earlier thread. Any idea what this noise could be?

Re: Clicking noise coming from slave cylinder T56

You're positive it's coming from the slave? The clutch pedal switch click loudly sometimes, but I've never had the want/need to listen close to the slave. (I guess you have someone pushing the pedal while you're under the car listening with the motor off?)

I haven't gotten around to installing the safety switch yet, so I know it's not that. Plus I don't have the shifter boot on so it's pretty easy to tell it's coming from the slave. It doesn't do it every time though.

Re: Clicking noise coming from slave cylinder T56

I don't know of any reason it would click.. How about the Reverse "lockout" solenoid? Is that hooked up to your clutch pedal?

Nope. When I bought the transmission 3 years ago, all the sensors were charred from being torched or something. I still have the old lock out in the trans but not hooked up yet. Keep in mind it shifted great up until the problem i was witnessing in the thread I posted above.

Re: Clicking noise coming from slave cylinder T56

Mine clicks occasionally too. I'm also curious to see what others have experienced. It clicks when I push the clutch in before I start the car, and no I don't have any of the safety switches either.
