Can you please recommend me a good mechanic in NJ for a Clutch Job for a Mini S 2005

Hello,

This is my first post in this site. I recently bought a Mini Cooper S 2005 salvage. I have always liked minis but never got a chance to buy one, and I bought this one to make it a project car. Anyways, the clutch is pushed all the way in, and it's stock. I'm thinking it could be that the ressureplate broke, but again i'm not to familiar with minis yet. In addition to this car I also have an Audi S4 b5 stage 3, some of you might know what is capable of.

Can you tell me if there is an DIY link?
Can any one tell me how much it would be to replace the clutch and PP?
Thank you very much.

Theres a sticky on how to do a clutch and flywheel here:

As far as how much, a new OEM clutch is around $280 I think and labor would probably be somewhere around $800. I paid 1k to have mine done at Helix in Philly, but i also had a Quaife LSD installed at the same time.
