If the driveshaft has been removed and checked twice I think you can be pretty sure it's not the problem. As I recall, on LH drive cars there is a "dog bone" stabilizer at the rear right side of the block. This would be by yoiur feet if your car is a RH drive, you do not say.

Cloink by your feet would not likely be a clutch problem, it is too far inside the aluminum crankcase to be herd that prominently, alsonever encountered that with a clutch.

It sounds like it is caused by the engine shifting wither clockwise or counterclockwise on accel/decelleration.

With car stopped and hood open, block wheels fore and aft, pop clutch in first and reverse, this will cause the engine to shift adn perhaps produce noise.

Check front motor mount which if loose will allow motor to rotate/shift.

Let us all know what you find.
