Should I replace my clutch or wait it out?

Hey guys, I got a dilemma. My clutch is pretty bad, it doesn't grab as well as when I first got the car back in July. And on a few occasions it has slipped on me.

My question, should I replace my clutch or should I wait it out because I'm gonna be replacing my engine with a B20 in a year which is when i'll change it anyways.

My concern is, will it give me problems in the winter if i decide to wait it out.

Hahaha, trust me don't wait it out. When i had my old engine i waited it out and let me tell you the car just would not go. MY clutch was burnt out. Basically what happens is you will not get any accelleration and you will just be stuck like me in the middle of traffic... Trust Me you don't want people to ***** at you during Rush Hour Time.. lol..... most it will cost you is like few hundred bucks..

dude.. change the clutch.. waiting it out is stupid, it'll eventually go soon and it would suck if it let go in a snow storm when all the tow trucks are busy as hell. Change it!

I can do it for you if you are interested.
