I suppose if you guys have new clutches it isn't the clutch wear that's causing this. Hmm....

Yes, this seems to be the closest description to what I am experiencing. My old clutch engaged very near the top, just as the new one does. A couple of inches of engagement is all that is really needed. I thought that the old clutch was worn to the rivets also (it turns out it was ) and I assumed there were some loose bolts in there as that is what the sound most resembled.

I did come across something on another forum regarding inner cv joints. Is this possible? It would be a relatively inexpensive fix if it were the case.
