    Sorry mate but your clutch is cactus. They're not overly expensive to do though

    You could also try adjusting the clutch, you have to muck around under the dash. There's a tech article somewhere. But as Niall said, you most likely need a new clutch. Approx $400-$1000 for the clutch and $600 labour

    Don'y leave it too long, you can cook the flywheel if you drive around with a slipping clutch for too long.
