Don't know if anyone can help but I've recently noticed when I set off from my driveway or at a junction, ie: when you're in 1st gear with your clutch engaged and your foot on the gas and then start to disengage the clutch and applying more throttle to move off, I'm feeling a small click as I let go of the clutch gradually (I only feel it when you've lift it halfway and then it feels smooth again). I've also felt a little click with the throttle but it's only so liitle. Is there a problem or is it a sign that something is coming loose and needs tightened? Or I'm I just worrying over nothing?

It doesn't click once you're off and running because you would barely engage clutch + throttle unless heel and toeing which I don't do that often. And any Elise owners out there that do heel & toe downchanges, does it affect the pedals in any way?

If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

I though it had something to do with a plastic bush in the linkage which was easily sorted out, may be wrong though!

Is it something that should be looked at immediately just in case there is something wrong. If there is will it be covered under warrenty?
