ticking noise when clutch is up but gone when down

[masterL]

just started hearing a ticking noise when the clutch is up, when i press the clutch down it goes away, only noticed it when the cars hot. but could be when cold aswell. its on my Williams.
could it be time for a new clutch because you do have to lift clutch far up for biting point?
any suggestions..

Sounds like the clutch to me. Bearing could be starting to fail or springs in the release cover coming loose. If its a high bite point like you say then it sounds like time for a change anyway.

Ive seen a few Willy's with stupid heavy clutches! Can cause cables to snap too. As they go heavy over time the owner doesn't notice, Just gradualy gets worse. untill its replaced and then it feels totaly different and they then can telll how bad the old one was
