Could have rusted some stuff up if water was not expelled or heat dried. Drive for a while and see if it sorts itself out. If it doesn't then something is out of true, plate and/or pressure plate and will need replacing. Only other thing is if oil from trans or engine has passed their seals and has contaminated the centre plate. Usually you can spot that by sliding under and see if there's any oil present from the bell housing.

2004 model did not have any flywheel issues so it won't be that.

Possibly your throw out bearing is heading south.

Another thing would cost nothing to check are the engine and specifically gearbox mountings.
