my son was driving up hill and he lost any power to keep going, when I
tried, i could let the clutch all the way out and there was very little

I understand I'll need a dremmel tool for the bolts, which are likely

I'm getting lots of loud clacking on a 96 Nissan Sentra 1.6 Liter.
Sounds like it's coming from the head. It has overhead cam, I believe.

I own a 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara (and have owned it for over two
years).  Recently, it has started to emit a really bad burning smell
immediately after riding the clutch a bit (like when I am pulling out
of a parallel parking spot on a hill).
