I was thinking bad clutch and/or clutch hydraulics (master cylinder). 60k is a long time for a clutch to last, although mine went to 70k and had 5-10k left in it. It's not uncommon for them to last only 30k. It all depends on what kind of driving was done and how hard drivers were on the clutch.

As long as the gearbox is being pulled you really should do the rear main seal; it's inexpensive (~$120 for parts). There's a fairly good likelihood you'll need a new flywheel as well, and you might also want to consider replacing the IMS bearing. If you're in for the long haul in terms of ownership, these things are all worthwhile IMO.

Let us know how it turns out.
