I'd agree with Judson that it's likely a thrust washer issue but given that they run with about 8 thou of clearance, there must be a ~1/8" gap for it to actually get out.
My guess is that the situation has been developing over a period of time. When you get the crank out, you might check the thrust face on the crank as this may be where the damage has occurred - ask me how I know.
Have you noticed that when depressing the clutch, the peddle sometimes drops unexpectedly?
The "clattering sound" is a bit of a worry and I don't think a lost thrust washer on it's own would contribute to this - well, maybe if the thrust is caught somewhere.
Judson, I'm not a JH guy, but could you really remove the crank with the engine in situ?
