I have an '09 CS2 that I bought 4 months ago as a CPO with 20k miles. I'm not approach 22k miles and I have a few clutch questions.

1. Every so often while moving I get a strange noise when shifting into 2nd or 3rd. Just as I let the clutch out all the way I get a strange noise. Almost sounds like and extra blip of throttle. It's not grinding or anything but it make a loudish noise. I tend to notice it more when the AC is on. Any thoughts on this?

2) I back the car into the garage and my short driveway is on an incline. So I'm backing up hill into the garage. It feels like in reverse I have to really let the clutch out super far. It almost seems like the reverse gear is not as low and torque"y" as maybe I'm used to.

Any thoughts would be great. I don't think the clutch is going out but I guess it's hard to tell.
