Whenever I down shift the clutch makes a horrendous noise. It usually occurs right when I'm about to disengage it. It also is occurring going from neutral to reverse and first gear. I was playing around so I road the clutch to see if the noise would happen and it did (Please note: riding the clutch was just a test and not normal driving). It has about 119,000 miles and I put on about 9,000 of them. My miles were all in town driving. The rest were highway. I plan on taking it to a mechanic but just wanted to know so I could prepare for the price.
