One of the best easy fix i do is .It wont fix in Completely BUT you will hear a noticeable improvement.

Here at Blue-Collar ..We call it a clutch Muffler

Take the 5 screws off the clutch cover Lay on a cardboard box.
Trace the outside of the Clutch cover and cut the inside of your trace.
Place inside And tighten all hardware. It will not do any damage or soak up grease from gears.
I have been doing this for over 6 years with pretty good results.
What your doing is taking up space the gears have to amplify the gear sound.
Sort of like A drummer Putting a pillow in a drum head.

Hope this helps.

I tried that inside noise damper. My clutch rubbed.
It damaged my clutch pads.
It is much safer to glue carpeting, or ghost0,s material to the ourside of the cover.

Also glue some one inch long pieces of fan belt or old sparkplug wire between the cooling fins. It does wonders for noise reduction.
