Default Help...!!!

I probably have the new 01 style. Question though, i went to look at my car in the shop and its definetly was the slave cylinder that was causing the problem. The clutch was pretty worn down too. On top of that, i had a baby drip form the rear main seal. I dont have the $$ for a new clutch kit so i asked if they can just removed the clutch and just fix the seal. They said they cant put the clutch back on once in because it wont re-align. Isnt that a $5 tool i can buy that they can use? They said it doesnt come with the car stock. So i guess i have 2 questions here:

1. Is this part really cheap/easy to get to re-align the clutch?

2. If they wont take the clutch off, will leaving a baby dripping rear main seal be VERY BAD?

Actually I think it's like 2 bones at your local store, and if they can't put a tranny back on, seriously wtf are they doing with your car and dropping the the tranny in the first place? Sorry to say it but you're getting bullshitted here.
