Default Im Sure I Need A Clutch ****

Ok theres the deal. My 86 gt grinds every gear. Unless its shfted very slow and it still clunks every gear. At a dead stop it grinds trying to put it in any gear. The guy i bought it from just put a new cable on it. He had installed it wrong. At the clutch fork he put the larger acorn nut infront of the fork and the littl lock nut behind it lol. I fixed that adjust it a little tighter so mabey the clutch may catch almost top of peddle but be able to shift justso i can drive it. ( had it 4 days only got to drive/grind it home) Ok also when i finaly get it into a gear it wines badly im guessing the pilot bearing or throw out bearing witch ever one it is. Is prolly locked up mostly spining my tranny shaft while in neutral and when i finaly get into gear it wines cause its shot. Has anyone ran into this i realy wanna drive it. Dont know what kinda power is has yet lol. Also im not gonna lie im broke lol ( just made f150 payment) so i need a cheap good clutch ive seen the king cobra's for about 150$ on ebay are they decent. And is that a good price. I dont wanna a oem style clutch but i can aford much more than 150$ either. Any help with my problem / Decent cheaper clutchs would help me alot. Thanx on advance.....

150 sounds like a good price but you need to stop driving the thing before you break the transmission itself, maybe its already broken i dont know but if you have another car stop driving the mustang
