Have heard such 'clicking' when depressing the clutch of our '86 5OOO for the nearly two years we've had the car... the clutch MC was replaced almost two years _before_ we got the car... so, from my perspective, if we're hearing the same sound (not loud or annoying at all), I wouldn't associate it with imminent clutch MC failure.
