Clutch judder from cold (need new flywheel/clutch) and failing synchromesh (crunching going into gear - initially only at high revs, getting worse over time)

You've already made your biggest error in your opening line:
"looking for and hoping to buy TODAY"
we all do it - but if it's possible to take time and not fall for the 1st scooby you test (precisely what I did) you'll probably get a better deal/motor for your $$!
(never did suss that 'quotey" thing!)
