Best Clutch/reasonably priced please!

I was just wondering how hard it would be to change the clutch myself and if there are any tricks of the trade? Ever since I got this car it has been a pain in my *** ! I can see why the guy wanted to get rid of it. I was thinking of going with a RAM, Luk, or even a McCleod depending on the price. Should I change the flywheel, or just get it resurfaced? Should I also change the Master/Slave cylinder?

I am assuming that the clutch setup is original with only 56k miles on the car. It chatters a little and has a tendency to grab every now and then. It doesn't operate very smoothly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I bought the Center Force duel friction clutch from Summit for 239.00 and it has performed great. The clutch has very light pedal effort and grabs very well. With slicks, I have launched at 5200 RPM and the clutch grabbed so well that it still dragged the engine down fast enough to bog the car. For the money it is a good clutch.

Hmmm, I didn't know they were so reasonably priced. I guess Centerforce is another consideration. I have heard bad experiences with the Centerforce in fourth-gens, but have no personal experiences with them. Thanks.
