Sounds like your release bearing (throw-out bearing) and/or your clutch is almost done. I had the same problem on another car of mine, and it was due to the previous owner not being able to shift properly.
My ZX3 makes that gear rollover noise, and it does it in 3 gears now, wheras it was only 1st, then 1st and 2nd, and now 3 gears...guess it's time for a full rebuild and fluid change.
But it sounds like your problem isn't a gear rollover noise, as you mentioned feeling the clutch pedal tapping your foot...sounds like the bearing and/or clutch are both worn out, or almost worn out. Do your gear changes feel less acurate, and your clutch have less play in it?
