The rattle noise DOES go away when the clutch is depressed a few inches.
Will adjust clutch cable---pedal play---and respond with results.
Secondary question is...IF clutch cable needs adjustment, isn't that a
sign of it stretching, maybe fraying, somewhere near a breaking point? (I'm
keeping a spare cable in the car anyway.)
Third...what IS the sound of a valve going bad?
Either the cable is stretching some, or the throw out bearing needs a new
layer of grease (usually a replacement).
No, I don't think a valve will make that kind of noise, but Jim would know
for sure.
