still knockin like the police....
See if the knock is coming from the engine instead of the trans
Measure crankshaft end play (checking for thrust bearing wear)

Ive looked at the rear end of the engine and felt for any looseness or anything obvious but everything seems tight.... lack of a dial indicator leaves me without exact measurements..... it only happens when the clutch has pressure on it.... never when driving,or in neutral or anytime the clutch is engaged... only once the pressure plate has pressure applied to it

Do you have to push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor to make the noise, or will it make noise if you just rest your foot on the pedal without pushing it down enough to disengage the clutch?

That should rule out a pilot bearing noise then.
Seems like you're probably down to something in the throwout mechanism, pressure plate/fingers, or crank thrust. Or something else oddball that wouldn't be typical.
Stethoscope it, figure out if noise comes from trans area or engine area?
