Have the linkage checked for adjustment on your clutch. sound like the pressure plate is not pushing in enough to completly releasing the clutch disc. 25,000 is not that much. have the cluch release checked . off the top of my head i don't remember if it has a hydrolic slave cylinder, if you do make sure the fluid levels are full
