When I pushed the clutch pedal in, there was an obvious scraping sound and a noticeable drag. Not sure if you have any slop or wear in the pedal bushing. That might be contributing to your issue.

Just replaced the bushings on my 46. Also replace the foam rubber seals on the clutch and brake pedals while you are there.
I'll check on both of those situations. The pedal action is smooth and easy without any rubbing sound tho.
