I have a 5 speed manual that has a ticking sound getting more noticeable. The sound completely goes away when I even slightly push in the clutch pedal. The clutch and timing chain were replaced about 5K ago. 156,000 and still going strong. Any ideas? Thanks.

Sounds to me like the throw-out bearing or bearing fork. See if you can get up there and carefully spray a lithum based grease around the fork where it attaches to the housing. Just be careful not to spray the clutch disc or pressure plate.
Good luck! :tu:
