Ok... this is exactly the conflict I keep seeing. It seems about 1/2 the time people say replace the clutch cable and 1/2 the time they are saying replace the clutch.

My problem is that I essentially have to take it to a garage if I just get the clutch cable replaced whereas if I do the clutch, I'll head down to my parents (600 miles) and spend a week or so on the car. The clutch kit from Pelican starts at $645. I estimate that I'll have to spend closer to $1000. I'm planning to replace the TO bearing tube, I need the pressure plate socket, and will likely run into some other issues. Is the $125 upgrade to the performance clutch worth the money?

I just don't want to spend $300 and then end up needing to do the whole clutch anyway. The car has 176K miles on it and I can't find a receipt from any PO for a clutch, so it just may be possible I'm still riding the original!
