<VV> Clunk When Releasing Clutch

[Jim Becker]

The rod that pushes the fork seems to snap sideways then the noise happens. 
Makes my first thought be that the fork is crawling slightly up a side of 
the pivot ball then snapping back into position.  Maybe the pivot ball needs 
some lube.  I doubt you can get any onto it through the opening for the rod, 
but I would give it a try.

Subject:  Clunk When Releasing Clutch

I converted my '68 from PG to manual. It's been on the road for a few
hundred miles. I've got an issue with a clunk while releasing the clutch
pedal. It appears soon after I feel the clutch engaging engaging engine to
transmission. It feels like something is hanging up and then releases, but
only across a short travel of the pedal. I've adjusted the linkage/cable in
its range and the clunk never goes away. The linked video illustrates the
issue. Before I drop the drivetrain and dive deeper into the problem, I was
hoping someone could shed some light on what I need to be checking/looking
for.
