Clutch help

Ok my clutch went out today and iam looking for the mcleod single disc clutch. Does anybody know were i can just purchase the DISC itself.
This car is my daily driver and i really cant afford to buy a $600 dollar clutch set. I will be doing this install and i do have all the basic tools to do it.

What are everybodys opinions on doing just the new discs?????
should i also replace the flywheel if it not in great shape????
is it true that i can get the discs for under $200?????

not really new to the site, ive been reading here for nearly tw0 years.

Some vehicle info would help. LT1? LS1? I'm sure you can buy the disk alone. You should be fine with just resurfacing the flywheel (stock I assume?), and you may need to resurface the pressure plate depending on its condition.

Lt1 t-56 6 speed about 117,000 miles and iam afraid that it my be the stock clutch. i was wondering why my cars performance was getting worse.(after replacing my opti 3 months ago, i was afraid it was the opti again.) i am hoping that my loss of power was just my clutch slipping.
( at high rpms my car would just not pick up, but i hope its just the clutch taking a crap.

117k is a lot of miles for a stock clutch. If it is stock, I would replace the whole thing, disk, PP, and TO bearing.
