+1 on the start with NAPA. But remember that when you plan your time to pull it. Most NAPA's close early on weekends and might not even be open on Sundays. You will want to get the Tranny pulled and get the fly wheel off and to the shop so it doesn't stop your work on getting it back into the car.

If it grinds when you engage the clutch you want to use it the least amount possible. That grinding sound may be cutting into your flywheel. (It could be on your pressure plate side, but there is no way to know until its apart.)
I have driven cars with multiple types of clutch failures. Clutches that slip seem to be the most common. You need to have the flywheel turned to get the varnish off of it. I shredded a clutch plate once but only had to drive a half mile back home. I had a pressure plate fail once and had to drive about 200 miles with a clutch that wouldn't disengage. I would put the car in neutral and coast to a stop. Shut off the motor to engage first. Start the car in first and shift by matching the engine rpms to the speed of the next gear.
