If you have a driver side floor mat, try taking it out and driving around for a day or two. Reading Harda Toenail's post reminded me of the clunking I used to hear. At about 208k miles I wore a hole in my floor mat with a new boot. I removed the floor mat because of the hole. Side effect = no more clunking from that point forward! Even though the floor mat was attached to the proper hooks, I think the pressure I put on the mat was stretching it and I don't think the clutch pedal was able to travel quite far enough (because of the position of the mat) until I removed the mat. I could feel the difference, even though slight. Perhaps a coincidence, but taking the mat out for a day or two (if you have one) can't hurt anything.
