Significant Technical Input
Stop. Think. Each time you release the clutch the pressure is transmitted through the throw-out bearing, pressure plate and flywheel. This, in turn, pushes the crank forward each and every time. So, while you may or may not have crank walk, the only thing it would cause at the pedal is a little more travel, not an inconsistent pedal.

If the crank has inconsistent end-play that can be felt at the clutch pedal you have a really weird problem and you should keep a bucket in the trunk - to pick up the pieces...
