[DML] Clutch Replacement



I purchased my 1981 Delorean in 1989 from the orginal owner and only have 10,500 miles on the vehicle. With the exception of replacement of the struts, I had no problems to speak of, until recently. The Delorean is starting to leak oil and black fluid (transmission fluid?). The clutch is starting to chatter and I just noticed last week that the tach RPMs will increase(on the freeway) without any increase in speed. I can't believe that I need a new clutch but all the symtoms are there. I store this car in the garage and only drive it every other month (sometimes). 
As I live in San Diego, California, it is 150 miles to the nearest Delorean repair shops (i.e. Delorean One). I would prefer to have the clutch replaced locally as I have to trailer the car (ugh!). Please let me know if the clutch can be replaced by a transmission repair shop or does it require special tools or parts. I probably need new seals, etc. I would appreciate any information I can get on this subject. Is the transmission Renault? Is is a special clutch? What is a reasonable price for the clutch replacement? Why did the clutch start slipping in the first place? Help!!!!!
