Default XR2's clutch gone, advice needed :(

Well when I got the car I knew the clutch was about to shite itself. Well this morning on the way to work it did.

There was one moment where the clutch actually stuck in position and I couldn't depress it. With a bit of persuation thou it finally moved, with a nice sharp crack

Now instead of just slipping, its a nightmare to get it into 1st. And when it is in first with the clutch depressed, its still inching the car forward just as if I had the car on its biting point.

Gonna get it fixed sat, but means the train to work for the rest of the week

Not sure if I'm going to need anything else, haven't changed a clutch before so a friend is comming to help me out. Tis a two man job anyway.

Was thinking maybe of going for an FRST clutch if they are better than the xr2 ones, but not sure if they will go right in? Anyone know if it will, can't really spend money on other bits atm.

Do you guys think I'll need anything else other than the new clutch plate and some gearbox oil?
