Also, pull in the clutch lever to see if it goes away.

If the noise goes away when you pull the clutch in, that's where you need to go.
Worn out clutch basket, clutches or bearing.
Usually, the clutch basket fingers wear, causing notches.

The rod will move side to side on the lower rod bearing. That is normal.

Does it move up and down?
