Neil, Another thing you can do is place your hand on the rod and lever with someone actuating the clutch. You should be able to feel the creak. So you may just need to clean and lube that ball and socket.

Help Diagnose Please? Thanks Dick. Something I meant to mention. My FTE slave cylinder has a plastic socket which appears longer than the metal OEM type. image of FTE slave cylinder http://www.van-cafe.com/shop/images/251.721.263.l.jpg Image of slave cylinder with metal socket: http://spareautoparts.eu/images/43/1800470.jpg I will check all parts concerned though and appreciate the direction toward that socket. My worst fear is that damage has occurred at collar on clutch housing where the slave bracket fits over. Neil.
