Well if its slipping there really isnt much of a alternative. call aroung for quotes from local shops cause parts and labour will vary a lot pending your area. Unless your wanting to swap in aftermarket parts but beware those tend to take a while to arrive so if you need your car right away you dont have many options

if you do buy an aftermarket clutch online, clutchcity is a good place to buy it from, they shipped mine and it arived in 10 days and there prices arent that bad. For an entire exedy clutch set (pressure plate clutch disc throwout bearing(s)? and aligntment tool all for 117$ that was to my door. check ebay for the clutchcity clutches.

Maybe your flywheel just needs to be machined.

I had my clutch begin slipping and it didn't take long before power was gone and it just reved like crazy. Its definitely not your flywheel. It takes roughly 3 hours for a mechanic to get to the clutch,... make sure you get your flywheel re-surfaced.. it should come back like a mirror. Otherwise, you can cause premature wear on the clutch. I put in a Centreforce Dual Friction Clutch.. and so far, its held up over the past 2 years. It has nice grab.. it was slighty more expensive than stock, but i think it was worth it. It also took like 5 weeks to get it. But maybe you'll have better luck b/c it was when the factory was backed up.. Anyways good luck.
