Default Need new clutch

I've been having a problem with vibrating and my relative seems to think that my clutch may have lost a spring. I guess this explains the vibration and why my clutch is very stiff. So, I need to buy a new clutch and need recommendations on what to get. I don't want something super stiff and am not looking to buy something really expensive. BTW, i just got this car and it's my first stick, if that changes your decision. Thanks

I would just get a factory replacement...will come with clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, and alignment tool. That is what I have and it work good. I got it at pep boys...cost me $130 or so.....had it on for 3 years now and I like it.

replace the rear main seal on the engine too, they're usually leaking anyway.

www.50resto.com has good selection of clutches from stock on up or
www.astroperformance.com is good too.

astroperformance has the king cobra kit with pilot bearing and tool for cheaper than others who don't include the tool and pilot bearing. I think i'm going to order from them. Any idea how long it will take?
