Pretty sure the cluth in my festy is toast. Its fine when the motor is cold but once its warmed up the clutch starts slippin bad. if im in 5th gear goin about 45 and push the gas down hard it just revs out and doesnt go no where. would an ebay clutch kit be ok to get?

Don't know about that one, but I bought a clutch off of eBay. An Exedy kit. So far, after 10,000 miles of abuse, it's holding up like new.
Here's one for sale. Same seller I used too.

Yeah I seen that one on there too. I was actually told that It would be pointless to replace the clutch cuz my engine leaks so much oil and the oil is dripping down and thats what causing my clutch to slip???? is this the case?1990 festiva*green paint with stylin black 14's

the oil can only get to your clutch if it can get past the backside of the flywheel or run down between the block and trans (doubt either of these). you need a clutch and a valve cover seal to start, but if you're doing your clutch, you should replace your rear main seal while you're in there.Trees aren't kind to me...

If your rear main seal is bad and you are leaking oil it is very possible that's the case. However, depending on how many miles you have on that clutch, if you pull the engine to replace the RMS go ahead and also replace the clutch and bearings.OscarComment

Festyboy has a point that the oil would have to go past the flywheel, but I have seen it happen.OscarComment

does the engine have to be pulled out to replace the clutch and RMS?1990 festiva*green paint with stylin black 14's

no you pull the trans and leave the motor in the car... but cause the mounts are on the trans you have to get a bar to support the motor when the trans comes out of the car...
