5spd shifting feeling/noise...help please

Ok, so when Im flooring it up and shifting at 6k, when I push the clutch in it kind of grinds and makes a grinding like sound. It does it in gears 1 and 2 when shifting at around 6k...5500 rpms it didnt do it, but at 6k it is doing it. I havent tested the shift at 3rd gear yet, but thats at what, 90? lol.

Ive noticed this the past week or so. The clutch seems fine otherwise, tranny is ok, nothin unusual just at the higher rmp shifts. Anyone got any ideas?? Its going in for the 30k tune up next friday, Ill let them know about it and see what it is. Thanks for the help!!

I've noticed my clutch kind of make a groan when shifting just before redline. I don't make it up there that often, but it did it once or twice (not every time though). Right when I stomped the pedal, before anything else. Wasn't really a "grind"...

Now my clutch pedal is squeaky whenever I push down on it, but this just started late summer, and my clutch did groan once shortly after I bought the max, a year before then. I'm almost positive I have a bad throw-out bearing too. I dunno if the groan was from one of those two things - lubrication or t.o. bearing, but it seems ok other than those issues.

If you want to bring it down, I'd be more than happy to look at it for you. Let me know

I told my dad, and without even driving it or saying anything he thought it was the throw out bearing, haha.....hes gonna drive it and see, and heck, I could get it replaced, Im only at 31k and have warranty till 66k, so Im guessing it should be replaced by the dealer if there is something wrong with it.
