SOunds like the throwout bearing, very common to do that with the miles you have. If your clutch cable is going out then you might be wearing down the clutch itself while driving it and shifting, if yoor going to change out the bearing it would be a good time to change the whole thing alon with the cable too. But if not, you could get a new cbale for around $89 and a new TB for $20.
