I am looking at a 1998 Altima 231 000KMs, haven’t tested it yet. But from whats been said the only problem is the clutch. Could this lead to other big problems? I barely have any car repair experience, but have most tools and willing to learn, would this be a safe gamble? (hoping to pay 900-1000 for it) I was going to buy a clutch kit and replace it.

Any input would be appreciated.

thanks
