Okay, so I took it into the dealership today again to see if they'd be willing to fix it.

Here's what the invoice says

"Customer says there is a clicking noise from the clutch pedal when pushing. Report heard click type noise from clutch pedal. Added lube to pedal linkage assembly. Still hear click. Compared to other FRS and click noise is normal for this vehicle. No problems at this time."

This time I made the tech sit in the car and hear it with me. He definitely heard it. He tried to feed me some BS before he heard it about how it is a standard sound. I think it changed his mind when he realized it was pretty obviously an out of place sound.

The guy on the phone told me they had 2 other FRs in the shop and they both did it. I don't believe that in any way. So that's why they basically said it was normal. However the guy on the phone also told me it wasn't normal... and that I'd have to wait for some kind of TSB to be put out to get it fixed.

wtf, really?

Time to try and fix it myself. Incoming clutch line, clutch fluid, tearing apart mastery cylinder, etc..
