Well the problem I have been having recently is with my clutch. When I depress the clutch fast and to the floor I can hear a clunk, souldnt almost like the clutch fork going too far and hitting something down there. It is intermittent but if I try and can make it do it 95% of the time. And it also only does it while running, which is kinda wierd because it is just a single clunk, not a grinding. I am very un-knowledable on clutches so i dont really have a clue, and on a side note the clutch is still very strong, so I'm wondering if maybe an adjustable cable might do it? I don't know but any help is welcome.

are you pretty sure it is under the car that the clunk is coming from?

can you get it on a lift or otherwise have someone push the pedal to the floor (like you do to make it clunk) while watching the fork?

where is the point of engagement? you would have to work to get the fork to push too far into the PP fingers, but i have seen it. and how is the pedal feel while pushing the pedal in and out? the TOB retainer can get chewed up and cause issues.

or if the clutch is adjusted too loose (point of engagement on the floor), it can load up the mounts since you might not completely disengage the clutch.

random ideas - give more info for more specific help. good luck.
