Default 'clicking' sound when using clutch

Car is an AU3 XR8 5M, noticed tonight that when I put the box into 1st and use the clutch I am hearing a clicking type sound that coincides with the clutch. It's intermittent and the gearshifts are still fine, and it's only going into 1st that does it. Wondering if anybody has an idea of what it might be?

And also, do AU's suffer from the same firewall cracking that E series manuals do?

Fire wall flexing/cracking and yes the AU suffers the same as earlier models

Thanks + also for the link on Ebay. Looks like I might have to get this put in.

Looks much tougher than the one on ebay, in new zealand, but is another option. It's the one i'll be putting on mine when i get the cash

plus if you hit the buy now, free shipping

The one I was looking at on Ebay is a genuine Ford part and cheap enough. Are people bolting or welding these parts in?
