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.
