Default Possible big bad problem...

I just need some advice.
My GSR has been funny the past 2 days. Mainly, when I lift off the accelerator at moderate RPMs (4000 and up), especially in second gear, there's a harsh bump, almost a slam from the engine. That's the best I can describe it. It kind of feels like I'm dropping the clutch on a shift, but of course I'm not even shifting. That's just how it kind of feels.
The engine also feels kind of buzzy and is ticking loudly.
I just had the valves done about 4000 miles ago, new plugs about 6000 ago (I just checked them last time I changed the oil), new plug wires about 1000 miles ago, new clutch about 7000 miles ago.
Any idea what's going on? I'm taking it in next week for a timing belt, H2O pump, so if it's not a big problem, I'll just wait til then. Unless it gets worse, of course.
Thanx!

the bump sounds like it could be your motor mount. have them checked.

the buzzing and ticking? I had that too, but then I realized it was the cukoo clock and fly estuary I had in my car.. seriously (yes, I was kidding about the clock) though, there are too many things that could be buzzing and ticking, but when you take it in next week, have them ride around with you and try to explain what you are experiencing.

I was thinking motor mounts, too. It's a 94 with 90k on it.
Any possibility it's the clutch again?
It just feels... weird. Spooky. I don't like it.
Seems to engage a little more harshly, too. Maybe it's just me. But it's definitely "banging".

I say motor mounts should be check first. What makes you suspect the clutch?
