It doesn't sound like a clutch disk, pressure plate or flywheel problem. Make sure your shift cables are in adjustment, if they are then it's more likely a shift fork, dog gear or syncro, transmission parts which are considerably more expensive than a clutch replacement.

It could also be low clutch fluid or a problem with the master or slave cylinder, which are cheap. But if all the gears but 1st are working, it's not likely.

$2400 is ridiculously expensive for a clutch replacement.

Or you could just start off in 2nd gear from now on.
