A few updates;
For about a year, the vehicle started making a metallic, ticking noise. It became more preeminent when the vehicle was warmed up, and would only go away whenever applying little to full pressure to the clutch pedal.
I greased everything that I could, did two fluid replacements, nothing changed. Until finally I caved in about the possibility that it might be my throwout bearing (TOB).
So I got all my parts together, and went to work. Mind you this was the very first time I took on a more advanced repair by myself. There were a couple of freak moments, but in the end, after countless thread updates and YouTube videos, the repair was finished. Thread here

I took the opportunity to change fluids and went with AMSOIL. Probably the best decision I've made regarding Engine, Transmission, and Differential fluids. Everything feels so silky smooth and the car feels so much different. Highly recommend to make the switch.
New parts installed are:
Verus Engineering Clutch Fork and Pivot
Revised TOB (OEM)
Schaeffler Slave Cylinder
Whiteline Transmission Insert
