Noise when you push the clutch pedal down (Regardless of gear, or movement) 
could be due to a bad throwout bearing. Or the end of the "push rod" could 
be worn to the point that it makes noise.

Grinding sounds related to rolling speed could indicate the dreaded Self 
Machining Syndrome (rivets on the ring get worn, slip out, and machine a 
nice hole on the bellhouse side of tranny case). Keep a very close eye for 
tranny fluid leaks under your car.
