honestly, this is not what I would call a very complicated repair, but it is out of the realm of most home mechanics. this can be accomplished at home and given the fact that this is a RWD car it is not that bad, but unless you are very experienced or very good at reading technical manuals, I think that given the time and effort involved that you would be better off paying for a pro. I am by no means a professional (whatever a professional is around my way is subject to debate) but I have been knee deep in the guts of cars since i was about 10. I can do this repair in around 4 hours (if all goes well) but i have seen this take others days....(and then it was never really right on an older non-self adjusting set-up). usually when these things go, it is a wear issue. clutch linings are considered consumable in the same way that break pads are and tires are. I did have a car once that exhibited similar symptoms and it was not a warn lining, it was a defective slave cylender...(i think unlikely here) the higher the milage the more likely i am to say that this is a lining issue. check FCPGrotton.com for a price. I also hate to bring up the fact that the majority of clutch wear is in fact caused by improper use...thats right bad driving. My last manual tranny vehicle lasted 276k miles on the original clutch. my girlfriend's on the other hand lasted less than 20k miles...do you find yourself resting your toe on the clutch pedal while moving? or do you just hover your foot above the clutch pedal? Either one is certifable as CLUTCH ABUSE....DO NOT DO EITHER! these are improper technique and are to be scolded. even if you drive in a lot of traffic just take your left foot and place it on the floor or dead pedal...before i fly off the handel...I am sure that you aren't the first owner of this (clutch) and didn't cause this...but keep my comments in mind. good luck
