This is in the wrong section. It should be in 'Tech Garage' or something. Here is the vid:


The clutch would not make it so loud and rough running. Something is definitely screwed. For one thing there seems to be more internal noise escaping. Is something in the exhaust broken. If you have a lift get her up in the air and peek at the right side as a start.

Cheers, hope you get it sorted.

the engine noise doesnt have anything to do with the clutch problem you perceive

sad rotary... completely unrelated to your clutch, unless it's spinning and knocking against it. Will it go into gear with clutch engaged without any ill effects?

If it wasn't for the loud knock I'd think your exhaust wasn't connected.
