I'm wondering if maybe the flywheel and friction material needed to be bedded in? I can't explain the clanking though.

Last time I had a clutch clank, it was because the idiots who had replaced my clutch apparently used an air ratchet to drive down the flywheel bolts...they sheared and my flywheel suddenly found itself no longer connected to the engine.
