Took my '05 Civic EX, same problem. Picked up my car and the service writers have already left but on the receipt, it stated that theyoiled/lubricated the master cylinder. Right now, the clutch and my shiftinggo very smoothly, just like when I first drove it. Hope this help.

 

i have this same problem.....it is also associated somehow with the "Waaa Waaa" noise that happens when i go into reverse. Both these noises happened after i lowered it.........very annoying
