Rattley Clutch

Just moved my 90 after 6 months stood.

The clutch is making a rattling noise when its in neutral and the odd gear
is hard to find. Once in, it doesn't slip and its not hard to move in and
out of gears on the move (maybe 2nd, but that's always been rough)

I haven't checked the fluids yet, but Im sure there plenty in there, also no
leaks from that area.

I thought I smelt a big of a burning smell, but the truck has been parked
under a tree for those 6 months and its not a nice hot V8 in its engine bay
so that could be any number of fluids, leafs, warm up and burning off.

Im wondering if the clutch has gone, or if it just needs a 10 mile run down
the motorway?

Any ideas?

Oh heck, the Haynes manual says input shaft and/or main shaft bearing!

Not that the drive way shows. In fact. In all its 6 months sitting, it hasnt
dropped a thing. Engine sums abit drippy but nothing that would drop on the
floor.
