This mechanic has reasonable prices but I am not too fond of being lied too. I am going to hold off until the clutch is noticeably failing, and from what I found out it only takes a day to get the clutch replaced.

Thanks again for the great advice! (You guys just saved me $1300, for now)

Good for you! Let us know how long it ends up lasting!
