I've finally gotten the truck quiet enough (by fixing the exhaust manifold leak and putting the correct breather on the carb), that I can hear a relatively loud clang (metal on metal sound) when i push the clutch all the way to the floor. this happens with engine running or truck parked and engine off. the clutch seems to work fine and i have the 1" pedal freeplay at the top before it starts disengaging the clutch.
is this normal and i just couldn't hear it before or does this mean i gotta do some work on the clutch area now?
thanks for any and all help.
