Clutch going south?



Greetings Q-Heads...
 
What are the top ten signs that my clutch is about to die? 
 
A few days ago I noticed that the clutch pedal has a pulsating feel when I depress it although there is no slippage...yet.  There is also a faint metallic scraping sound when the pedal is pushed---even when the car isn't moving.  Checked with my local mech, he says the book estimates 9 hour$ (yow!) to replace the clutch.  Does that sound right?  Anyone BTDT?
 
Thanks,

p.s.  Thanks to all for your comments on the Dunlap SP-4000's.  I got them installed and and have really enjoyed them so far.
