whiny clutch issue - WITH VIDEO!

started making this noise this morning. car shifts fine, clutch still grabs the same as it always has. shifting during driving you can feel some vibration in the pedal. the noise is in both forward and reverse when moving from a stop. car warmed up or cold doesn't make any difference.

Had my mechanic look at it quickly, he says he needs to rip into it to know for sure. says it's definitely the clutch. at that point I am buying a new clutch.

edit:
pulled paperwork.
ACT HDG6 and Fidanza flywheel where purchased 8/26/2008... so they may just be toast. that could be 20-30k miles ago. I bought the car 10/2010 with about 42k on it. it has 53k on it now

I am here to see if evom can diagnose over the net. So what you say evom members?

Video:



edit:
so if/when I rip into it, what clutch to get?
making ~535 hp and ~450 tq

car isn't launched. You can feel this in the clutch pedal. this is definitely in the clutch.

as far as I know, t-case whines all the time when moving, this is only as the clutch grabs

I never heard a clutch do that. It sounds more like belt noise to me.
