So after weeks of convincing my self my clutch was about to die I figured it was worth jack up the car again to find luckily my clutch is fine it was just the bracket my manifold had come loose. I guess I should say thanks to ezmfne for giving me the idea to check it out. While he pointed out it could be the common heat shield problem (something my car is missing) it was actually in the right area. When I got my Fujitsubo the bracket that bolts to the gear box had been damaged, the lower of two bolt holes actually had a chunk missing originally I thought nothing of it. I'm guessing a nasty bump dislodged the bolt and since then the forces of the gear box and it holding tight on at the top bolt have been the source of my problems. I will be keeping an eye on it but worst comes to worst I will pull the bracket off and replace the hangers with stiffer ones to help hold the bulk.
