Clutch is making horrific clicking noise

[CherbleFTW]

Okay so I've done some research about clicking, popping clutches and none of what I've seen exactly describes my problem.

Here's the story, When I bought this car the clutch started making a clicking/popping sound and it was here and there all of the time it wasn't anything permanent. And it only happens when I push the pedal in. Now it has gotten way worse. It will make about 3 to 6 clicking noises as i push in the pedal, and basically I've figured out that if it clicks about 6 times that the clutch isn't engaged enough to get into first from a dead stop or to shift gears. I mean, once I'm going it does shift but it's like im shifting without a clutch. I am convinced it's coming from the cabin, but I can't be 100% sure because I don't necessarily know exactly what I'm talking about, but some of you guys do. I'm gonna try to take it to a shop tomorrow, but I don't wanna have to go there and have them tell me they don't know and replace something they don't necessarily have to. Please help. Thanks
