Have you tried just adjusting the cable? The clutch cable should have about 3mm(?) of travel in it. To check, pop the hood and yank on the big cable going into the transmission. If it has some freeplay (but not much more than 3mm), you're SOL. If there's no freeplay, try unscrewing the thing a bit until there is some. If there's too much, tighten it up. Then take it for a drive and see if it's OK.
