okie, i have not bled the clutch yet, but i noticed one thing recently. sometimes, say after a stop sign or a red light, when i put it in the 1st gear and want to start moving, the car shakes A LOT. i don't bring the clutch pedal up suddenly, and it did not use to do this...but occasionally, it shakes pretty bad and i have to push the clutch pedal down and start from 0!
now today, the mechanic (who did the timing belt job on my car) and i were test-driving the car (he was driving) and at a red light, when starting to move, the car shook violently...and he said that to him it felt like the clutch is slipping (or it's glazed)
damn, i don't have money after this timing belt job - i don't want to fix anything anymore

Very unlikely, but possible you can make it better by slipping the clutch a lot. Try to start in 4th gear in a parking lot somewhere. You aren't gonna really start moving (much?) but you'll slip the clutch a lot. Sometimes that polishes the surface & makes the shuddering better. Most likely it just turns your clutch into smoke. But your clutch is basically shot already, so what ya got to lose?

Thanks JimBlake. This does not happen a lot though...and I don't plan on fixing it soon (unless it'll lead to other problems in other parts of the car).
Which parts exactly does a clutch set include anyway? And do you have any idea how much fixing it will cost?
