Dealer took it out for a test drive, and of course they say they couldn't hear it. So I pick up the car and as I drive away it makes the noise, so I go right back into the dealer and tell them I want the tech to come out and listen to it as I can get it to make the noise at will.

So the tech (It's the tech that replaced the 3rd gear, but this noise is unrelated as it was making the noise before the 3rd gear fix.) comes out and I'm able to make the car make the sound, but then it stopped and I couldn't get it do it again. The tech made it sound like it was a viberation coming from somewhere under the hood and that it didn't sound like it was an internal sound. I strongly diss-agree with him, if you guys heard it you would know what i mean.

The car is going in next week anyway because the sway-bar end links are shot, the tech said he will look at the clutch noise then.

I'm so frustrated right now because the car is still making the clutch noise, the rear sway bar end links are shot and noisy as hell, and I swear the front end of the car feels off since they had it for a test drive and it sounds like a bushing or something is loose in the front now...this car is stressing me out, I didn't think i was driving an old clunker, it's an 07 Si with 46,000km on it.
