with a leaky rear main seal, I would def. replace the clutch too.

How many miles on the car?? you might be able to just get away with buying another clutch and re-using your pressure plate, saving $100 or so. You can get a Heavy duty ford racing for more like $170 from a ford dealer, $209 is steep for a heavy duty. However, if you are honest to god 100% sure that you are getting rid of your stang, it might be cheapest for you to use a stock replacement clutch, (not sure what they run) However, if there is any doubt and you might actually keep it, go with an aftermarket clutch.

Honest, this is a job that you should do yourself. It sounds scary if you have never done it b4, but honestly, this is one of the easiest major projects you can do. You could save yourself hundreds since this is almost all labor.

If you just are not that skilled at doing these things yourself (and I suggest now is a good damn time to learn) Find some fellow mustang friends local to u, such as a post on all mustang forums to find locals, or join a local club. Then all you need is a couple of cases of beer, and a driveway, and you have all the help you need. I helped a dude replace a clutch that I met in a stang club.

Honestly man, do this yourself.
