So is the slave rod touching the fork? If it's not and you cant break the strap, hydraulics are still an issue. The clutch, throw out bearing or fork may still be toast but if you can't break that strap, a new clutch won't fix that issue. You can have some air in the system and good pedal feel. The master may not be having a good day so I would really make sure your hydraulics are in proper order, whether you go for a new clutch or not. The metal noises could be many things.
