Last year my square did the same thing. Later the knocking turned
into a grinding sound. And I did care to much about it, hoping the
car would heal itself, as VW`s sometimes seem to do...
Until one day, there was a big bang while shifting ! The clutch didn`t
work anymore. 30 miles from home and only been able to shift without
clutch. Fun !!
Result: Throw-out bearing? Absent. Probably the little metal balls that
were all over. Preasure plate ? Broken into hundreds of pieces.
Shift fork ? Totaly bent, needed to be replaced.
Was a lot of expensive work !

So you better check out soon. Usually a little problem that can turn
into a big damage !!
