Default Clutch Time :(

So I got on the gas in 1st the other day and I'd revved a little more than I meant before dropping the clutch pedal. When I should have a heard at least a chirp I instead heard My engine slowly rev down.

So it's time to replace my 20 year old stocker....suck


I will try and nurse it for a while, until my grandpa's shop is completed. (should be more than a month or so) We'll have lifts in there so it'll be worth the wait.

My questions:

What clutches do you suggest?
I'm thinking from my brief searches $300 is about what I'll be paying.
Can you point me to any write ups?
Anything else I should take care of while I'm doing this?

Spec. Id also do a rear main seal, steel bearing retainer and possibly a pivot ball and fork. A cable might not be a bad idea also.

I've heard mixed reviews about those, more good than bad though.

I'll definately keep those in mind. No idea how to do half of it, but I got a little time.
