Sometimes the throwout bearing is the culprit. In a worse case scenerio,
the engine thrust bearing is bad/going bad and the problems are bigger
than you can imagine. Have a friend look at the crankshaft pulley while
you modulate the clutch pedel. If it moves (other than the rotating it
should be doing) then you got problems. 
Hope that a new T/O bearing will fix your problem.
