Update on the clutch problem. It was very hard to find. Took 2 people in fact. I pulled the little dust cover off and had a friend push the clutch in slowly. As the throwout bearing was pushing on the clutch fingers I could see one of the fingers start to bend sideways and bind on the finger next to it. I guess that is what that intermittent popping sound was. I have never seen this before. I guess it is because the clutch is so old and I beat the living hell out of it.
