You know, when you depress it, you place lateral pressure on the crank. I wonder if there is excessive end play in the crank? Worn thrust bearing on the crank aren't uncommon with a manual transmission.

Just a thought.

Okay. If there was excessive end play, then it would make sense. Since it has low mileage, there is even a lower chance of that as a problem unless it wasn't serviced properly.
