Clutch noise -- advice please

I have a 2002 9-3 SE with the 5 speed manual transmission. Recently, the clutch makes a noise when I let it out in first gear. Not every time, usually when it's under stress, such as being on a slight grade, although its frequency is becoming greater. It also doesn't feel quite right anymore. Shifts seem to have a bit more of a jerk than they used to.
This noise isn't a grinding, but it does sound like a metal-to-metal contact. Kind of a throaty squeal.
Car has 63,000 miles on it. I'm the third owner, I believe, and it looks as though this car was a lease in its early life and not particularly well cared for.
I'm going to assume that the news here is more bad than good, but is this something I should be worried about in the short-term? My main concern is that I travel a primarily rural road to work and drive, round trip, about 50 miles a day.
Thanks for any help you can give.
