Clutch Problems

Question #1:
Ok, my clutch grabs right away, but if i shift at high RPM's the clutch slips really bad, could there be air in the fluid lines? or is my clutch needing to be replaced?
Also, is my trans supposed to be really loud, or is that because of my clutch problem.

Question #2:
I need to rebuild my engine because it has a serious oil leak, would it be chaeper to upgrade to a new late 80' early 90's EFI engine? what should i expect to pay for the swap/engine/trans?

Question 3#:
I live in british Columbia, Canada, does anyone know of a good place to get my engine rebuilt/swaped?

have you tried adjusting the clutch? how many miles are on it? if its fairly old you have to adjust it all the way in one way.

depends how much horsepower you want and how much $ you have..

clutch height is adjusted by lengthening or shortening the rod that connects the clutch pedal th the clutch master cylander.... loosen the lock nut 12mm wrench and adjust it untill you like it!
