sounds like all you need is new rings and maybe a piston, if your piston is torn up check your cylinder walls to make sure you don't need a new one of those, as for the other questions i don't know

you probly dont need a new clutch unless it is giving you alot of troubles. and it isnt too hard to change that! im 16 and have done it so many times, i can do it with my eyes closed!

it seemed like it wuz giving me alot of troubles on the trial like when i would go to let the clutch out it seemed like it wuz slipping or just grabing really hard the back tire would jump i just got the pistion out last night idk how to tell if its bad...that or the ring i can take pixs and post it...so the clutch is four bolts then pull the springs and the clutch plates and put the new ones back in?

i dont mean to sound like a jerk or anything but with all the abbreviations in your typing it is kinda hard to understand. And about the clutch you will have to remove the 4 bolts and springs. you then slide the pressure plate off. after you get thet off your plates will slide right out. Also check your basket for wear too(there may be notches on the cluch basket where the plates slide in). If there are any just file them down untill its smooth.
