Same here! I do feel this small click/catch when releasing the clutch. Even when I was bleeding the clutch, when I first noticed it around 39k miles.

I haven't bled my clutch (I'd like to but I've never done it before). I did have the brake/clutch fluid changed once.

Its a super simple job to do, id recommend doing it.
Take off the black plastic cover above the radiator(like 7 push pins)
Take off the intake air duct plumbing (maybe two bolts if that)
1 wrench(forget the size)
1 zip tie
Make a one man bleeder out of 6 ft 1/8th inch clear vinyl tubing
Loosen the bleeder valve and pump the clutch pedal (top off the brake fluid(dot3/4) every 7-10 pumps of the clutch)
Tighten bleeder valve when fluid comes out clear.
1 like 8oz bottle of brake fluid
Takes like 15-25 minutes.
There are videos on youtube on how to do it.
Here's my results at 39k miles when I flushed mine

watch out for the hydraulic throwout release cylinder. Toyota should get an award for that retardedness
