Hi. I recently started to hear a loudish "click" when depressing clutch pedal. Am not sure if noise coming front front or rear cylinder or from inside bell housing. So..... Get someone you trust to push brake pedal down while you listen under/around area. This will help you to get a really good idea of exactly where noise is coming from.
