Bad clutch?

Today I noticed (95 ti) when pressing the clutch even slightly I hear a scraping metallic sound. Almost like backing plates of brake pads against a rotor.
Shifts OK. Doesn't feel like it's slipping. The noise needs to get looked at. Wondering how expensive of a noise it will be.

I'm going to call a shop on Monday,

Maybe the throw out bearing is getting worn? If that's the case, you should just do the whole clutch assembly.

A little pricey, yes...

I'm expecting to dump another $1000 into this car. It also needs rear suspension bushings and the exhaust needs to be fixed.
