well, I've been putting it off forever and tonight it finally just gave up, I have absolutely no pedal.  The car has 135k and it is the original clutch, but I don't have the money for a new clutch kit right this minute. 
How difficult is it to change out this?  I'm going to purchase a manual tomorrow just thought anyone that has been through it might give me a pointer or two.  Never messed with tranny's before (pun intended 

 )  so this is new grounds for me.
Thanks!
