Clutch advice



Okay folks, my clutch (1990 model 5 speed) is starting slipping
badly...began 'chattering' in 1st gear today. So who has the best clutch
kit for a stock motor? Most everyone seems to have a stock factory clutch
kit and a high-performance kit. No racing or anything for me, so would the
extra $100 or so for the high-performance kit be worth it?

Most of the sites: Go Miata, Flyin Miata, Perormance Buyers Club, etc. seem
to have the same stuff...Go Miata has the cheapest stock clutch kit I've
seen so far. Any "yeahs" or "nays" on any of these suppliers?

Other advice?

I just bought this car not long ago, and my knowledge of these Mazda
clutches is limited, perhaps the clutch can simply be adjusted if not too
far gone?

Car has a verifiable 75k on it but I doubt the clutch has ever been
replaced, so I will likely go ahead and do the job, however it would be nice
if I could tighten it up enough to drive until this weekend as it's my
primary transportation.
