Welcome, an 08 touring, you got a good one, as stated above get that clutch/tranny issue sorted, just to verify the clutch is adjusted correctly here is how I do it using warps method, mine will have some of the same issues when it’s not 2 to 3 mm, more or less and she’s not right. When adjusted correctly it should be smooth as butter if not warp explained what will probably need to happen. Grab cable at feral as in picture and pull while in neutral and warm.
