As soon as the exhaust cools down I'll re-adjust the clutch and see what happens.

I think I have the clutch dis-engaging too far and the pressure plate is contacting the top rear of the bell housing, although I'm not seeing any marks on the pressure plate itself. Hopefully it will adjust out to a happy useful medium.
I've had this exact same problem right after installing a new clutch. Hard to shift and odd noise when pedal on the floor. Backed off the clutch linkage a bit and everything is fine now.
