There are a number of possibilities at the pedal assembly. One of course would be the shaft on which it pivots. I don’t know how/if it is bushed but I’m not betting on that anyway. There are two different switches activated by the clutch. I think the lower one is released as you press down the clutch so it is probably not the click that you can feel. The upper one is normally open and gets closed as you press the clutch. (This is the one that must be pressed to start the car) If that switch binds or is misaligned (perhaps the bracket is bent) it could bind and cause you click. I’m not betting on this either.
More likely I think is the pivot of the clutch master cylinder shaft where it connects to the pedal, or the assist spring that helps return the pedal up. The master shaft and both ends of the spring have lube points that could be dry. If you don’t mind crawling around under there you may be able to find it by pressing the clutch by hand and looking with a light and maybe a mirror for some angles.
If it’s none of those then it could be the shaft where it goes into the master, or even something like a loose master, but I’m guessing it’s the spring or shaft pivot, either dry or somehow bent.
