Same thing happened to me a few months back and turned out to be the clutch disk was gone (5 of 9 pucks were missing). Take it off and look it could be your clutch, T/O bearing or even your pilot bearing will make this noise. My tell tale from my car was I couldn't or very hard to shift into third as the clutch was dragging the flywheel and not fully disengaging when pressing the clutch pedal in. Take it apart and most likely it will be pretty obvious what it is when you see the inside. Also, make sure you replace everything while in there - Clutch, Pressure Plate, T/O bearing, Pilot Bearing, Slave Cylinder and resurface your flywheel.

Good luck - It's really not that hard.
