It may be the cv joint and since it is go ahead and One rebuild it or best replace it. Also check and make sure your trans oil is filled up

Just because the pedal feels tight doesn't mean the clutch is put in right. The real question is how long after you put the clutch indid it start doing this. If it has just started this and the clutch was changed 7 months ago. Then I would replace the cv joint since it is really really bad (to me it sounds like it is stripped on the splines of the axe where the joints are on the axels). How much have you been hot ******* it. That will wear a clutch out quick.

The first thing i would check on the clutch play is the ½" pin that it piviots on. Look make sure the bracket itself doesn't move.Check the top where the cable is attached see how much play there is between the cable and pedal. And if these problems are not what is causing the 1½ play. You may want to start checking the throw out bearing
But back to the axel it neds to be replaced before it leaves you on the side of the road
