Sounds like its the end clutch discs. They usually last like 60-70k depending how you drive.. Pretty simple to change yourself with no fancy tools needed. I have another set of clutch discs with 3k on them not warped at all from a wrecked car. PM if you wantem, or your can buyem brand new from Alto for like $90 shipped.
