Clutch Pedal Theories?

About five or so days ago, when I depressed the clutch pedal on my Fit, I felt a brief notch of resistance about an inch from the floor.

It felt almost like my foot bumped something, like my shoe brushed the dead pedal or something. So, I wrote it off, but now it's happened again, a few times (out of roughly 20 short trips I've driven over the last five days). It hasn't caused any issues, but I am new to driving a manual transmission car, and I am worried that it could be a warning sign.

I drive a 2017 Fit. I got it from my parents about 8-9 months ago. It was at ~33,000 miles then, they had mostly been towing it behind their RV.

I've put about 3000 miles on it. I had the oil changed along with the transmission and brake fluid at the deal about 7 weeks ago.

I've noticed that, since I first got the car, that when I am driving slowly, like in 1st (or maybe 2nd gear) in the parking lot, and I quickly depress the clutch pedal, I can sometimes audibly hear the sort of low click of the clutch disengaging. I don't know if that's normal, or if it could be related.

Any theories on what's causing the resistance when depressing the clutch pedal?

I'd worry a bit,I'd worry the splines on the output shaft lost their lubrication,id worry the diaphragm spring had issues or the disc was really worn( but it should slip then) or it could be your knee joint. or the actual pedal bushing could be un-lubricated...i would closely monitor for any changes ----OR i could be nothing
