I've had a ACT 2100 clutch and pressure plate combo for about a year or two now... only put about 3000 miles on it.. maybe a little more. I'm not sure how long they are supposed to last but recently when I push my clutch pedal in I hear a creak sound like when you walk on an old wood floor. I'm almost certain it is the pressure plate. Not too loud and it only happens while the pedal is moving in or out.. no sound when I'm not flexing the plate. Is this normal for ACT plates? Or is this a sign of an upcoming failure?

Thanks,
Corey
 
I would try to inspect through the inspection hole underneath for corrosion on the fingers. Get some help and have somebody press the pedal and locate the noise. My guess is the diaphragm area. Maybe all it needs is a light oiling on the contact areas.
 
Two possibilities i can think of. Are you sure it isnt the pedal? If it is exterior check all the transmission bolts especially the one that goes in from the back.
 
If I may I can suggest something try to press te pedal with your bare foot... Yeah that's right no shoe, flip flop, socks nothing... It will help you to pin point the sound better or even feel the exact moments that happens because it could be something else instead the PP. I do that from time to time and test drive my car like that to feel any vibrations sounds etc on the pedals.
