check to see if your rotors are warped in the back as well

check the plates behind your rotors they my be rubbing against the rotors. but it is odd the noise doesnt occur going forward if thats it. the other noise i would say is your pilot bushing spinning in the crankshaft

I had a clunking/clattering noise when I went in reverse sometimes. You could feel it too, not just hear it, like something was severely broken. I thought my differential was messed up, but it turned out to be one of my brake pads. It wasnt sitting in the caliper right, and wore away the top of the pad without touching the bottom. Check you brakes.

The noise when you disengage the clutch is most likely your throwout(release) bearing.
