Sounds like a bad throwout bearing and/or bent fingers on the pressure plate.
At any rate, it should be fixable with a basic clutch job. It's possible that you will need a new bearing retainer, this is part of the transmission. Very easy to replace once the transmission is out.
$800cdn sounds like a lot.
FYI here are some general prices to expect:
Bearing retainer $40us
Throwout bearing $40us
Clutch $100-$150us
+ Labor if you're not doing it yourself.
Good luck,
Rich D.
