IROC,

I'm thinking that what you're thinking is the right thought - I think. Since it isn't snowing here yet, and there is obvious slippage somewhere, there isn't much left but the clutch.

If you have a hydraulic clutch like most other ThirdGens, adjustment isn't an option since it is done hydraulically and constantly until there is no facing left (like what you probably have). Raise and support the car safely, remove the clutch housing cover, and take a good look at the clutch plate, pressure plate, and flywheel. This way, you'll be able to recognized exactly what you need when standing in line at the parts counter.
