sounds like your throw out bearing is going out or needs greased it doesnt act any different other than the noise

on the bottom of your bell housing there should be an inspection plate that has some small bolts or screws holding it in placepull that and look inside and throw out bearing should be the first thing you see behind the clutch assemblyand there should be a grease zert on it

Its your throw out bearing and its not serviceable. Once its shot its shot. How old is your clutch? If you think you may be near the end of life on the clutch may want to replace it since the transmission is going to have to come out. New clutch kits from South Bend come with a new throw out bearing.
