Tom,
Better take out a bank loan now.
Sometimes, very rarely, you can get away with washing the clutch disc
with brake cleaner with the engine running and rthe pedal depressed. At
best this is only temporary.
If you are going to do the clutch, replace all three parts, the disc,
pressure plate and throw-out bearing to avoid having to get back into it .
Just my opinion.
Best Regards,
Tony R.
