I think the noise you hear is the low octane or pre ignition and letting off the gas would lessen the load thus lessen the knock.

The linkage adjustment is only for engine flare or run away during a shift. If yours isn't doing that then no need. The direct drive thing is a major repair involving replacing the old hard DD clutch. Unless the clutch fails totally and has to be worked on, the best solution and good practice anyway for other reasons is just to let off gas at that particular time.
