So, took to three mechanics, and finally gave in a spent the 1300 on a new clutch (fly wheel was fine). After the switch the guy showed me the plate and it was worn down to the bolts (previous owner had no idea how to drive a stick obviously).

WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I basically have a new car. I had no idea how the old clutch was spoiling my experience in the car and I wish I'd spent the money a year ago!

Now I want to change gears rather than avoid it - and that what this car's about.
