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.
