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.
