Hi Wil,

I'd say it's clutch time ... and while you're there you should replace the engine seal and pilot bearing along with having the flywheel resurfaced. Of course you'll replace the throwout bearing and you should either true up the release fork or replace it along with checking/replacing its bushings. Replacing the input shaft seal in the transmission is another must do as far as I'm concerned.

While it's all out ... replacing the starter bushing is a very good idea, too.
