Clutch replacement delimma

I was hoping to get some advice/recommendations for my clutch replacment.

My problem is that I have a defective Sachs racing clutch. The splines are not long enough and I have too much slippage at low rpms and the clutch is making a lot of noise. I cannot get on it and shift and put the power to the wheels as I would like. I can't really afford to buy another Sachs clutch. My MINI's build is in my sig.

Any suggestions for a good stage II/stage III clutch is appreciated.

Motor On!

They show various Stages. I've heard good things about them.

improper clutch, needs to be an unsprung clutch disk for use with an OEM flywheel.
