+1 on clutch worn out.

With 96K miles, don't be too surprised if you also need to replace the pressure plate, the throw-out bearing, and/or the dual mass flywheel. And all of this can get pretty expensive but it will be as good or better than new when you're done.

Best budget $3k and throw in the ln IMS retrofit and a new rear main seal while you're in there. And after it's done you'll be driving a new beast.
