Question: What is the knocking I hear when only when the truck is in gear?

When I then try to drive it becomes very heavy but I can only hear it when I'm in gear trying to drive. If I push in the clutch or put the truck in neutral the knock goes away. I feel that it's a transmission or flywheel/clutch issue as it seems that the motor doesn't run any harder or knock when not trying to drive. Other than it tries to overheat like crazy. I am fairly mechanically sound and can fix most issues but I don't have any transmission experience and need some direction.
