When I replaced my clutch, it took a little longer than that, because I did it myself at home without a lift. In order for me to access the clutch, I had to take off the drive shaft & lower the transmission. I don't have before and after pictures to show you.

Is this the first stick you have driven? Do you ride the clutch? Riding the clutch will definitely cause it to wear more quickly.

If you do, in fact, need a clutch, it is better to go ahead and do it now. I think my clutch kit was $240ish.
