its not exactly an easy job to do, if u dont have a good collection of tools id suggest taking it somewhere else, if u really want to learn about ur car and are willing to take the time and money heres what u would want to do, buy a haynes, helms, or chiltons manual for ur particular car, read away about everything that will be related with the car until u understand all of it, then if u decide u want to do it, ur gonna have to buy a new clutch, 300-400 bucks, buy an engine hoist 150 bucks and a breaker bar to get ur axles off 50 bucks, and have a lot of sockets wrenches etc. u have to remove both axles from the tranny, remove the engine and transmission from the car, and then unbolt the tranny from the engine and wala theres ur clutch right there in front of u, (u can slip the tranny from under the car but i wouldnt suggest it on ur first try) if ur not willing to do all that work 800 dollars for a new clutch and resurfaced flywheel is a great deal where im at, i had my clutch replaced for 1030 dollars with nothing done to the flywheel when i was younger and didnt yet have the knowledge of how to do this myself, to start get a car manual that you will use for the rest of ur cars life, 15-30 bucks and start reading, see what ud be getting urself in to and make ur own judgement call, id do my own clutch in a heartbeat but only because i have the tools required and the know how to do it right.

btw if its just now starting to slip uve probably got a few months left, once it starts to slip when u leave ur car at WOT all the time uve only got a few weeks, just to let u know. u can probably hold out for a little while if need be. i let mine go until my car no longer moved forward nemore. lol
