I just checked the fluid level and it's pretty low...is it ok if I just add some more fluid to it without bleeding the whole system? There's snow everywhere and it's freezing, so bleeding it right now is kind of out of the question. I just need a temporary quick fix so I can drive the car these next few days...my high school exams are coming up and I need to get around this week.

You should be able to reach the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder from the engine bay. If you have time to add some fluid to the clutch master cylinder, you could take another 5 minutes and attach some tubing to the bleed nipple and give the clutch a couple pumps to get rid of any air that might be in the lines.

I also checked ebay for a new clutch and came across this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1922180171
I was wondering if this would be a good OEM replacement and if anyone has any comments or other suggetions.
:squint: Hmm... That's $2 less for the clutch and $3 more for shipping than on their site. So in the end you're paying $1 more going through ebay. Weird... Nevertheless, I'm probably going to buy my clutch from them.

Just purchased a clutch off that ebay link. Whaddya know, the $12 shipping rate on their website isn't the correct shipping price. Going through their website is about 50 cents more.
