Weird brake pedal question
93 LT1 A4. 12" rotors all around.
So anyway, yesterday I was backing up (out of my driveway @ low speed) and when I released the brake pedal, it felt like there waas a little "click" or hitch at the very top of the pedal travel. Almost like something was catching. I backed up a few more times and it kept doing it. I only notice it in reverse, though, not when going forward. It is not loud or jarring, just a little bit of a hitch, like something isn't quite releasing right away. You can feel it in the pedal, not necessarily hear it.
I have replaced the MC and pads and rotors all around (my pins and bolts are new as well as the anti-rattle clips). Just FYI....
Is this just a quirk? Anything to be worried about? Anyone ever have this experience. Should I see a doctor?
TIA

Honestly, that's what my first thought was. But it happens repeatedly when you hit the brakes in reverse... not just the one time at startup like the ABS check.
It's not a grind or anything, but more like a hitch or a catch... like something near the pedal is binding, but only in reverse! I dunno....
