2012 4cyl clutch "crunchy"

All

Brand new to me 2012 4cyl 4x4 SR5 with 5 speed. Only 20K miles, nothing done to it other than routine service at the local dealer.

I'm finding that the clutch is a little "crunchy" (for lack of a better description) right at the very end of disengagement. There's a little bit of feedback I get through the left foot as it's just about all the way out. Maybe a slight "creak" felt through the foot but nothing audible.

It's not horrendous, just prevents me from being as smooth as id like, particularly on initial takeoff.

It is the first time I'm driving a 5 speed daily in over 12 years, so that may be contributing.

Sound normal or anything specific I should check? I saw the TSB for the squeaky clutch but don't know if that's the same symptom.

Thanks!
