clutch replacement question

My clutch is now starting to slip. What all do I need to replace? Just the disc, release bearing, pilot bushing and pressure plate? I just replaced the slave cylinder a few months ago. Im probably just gonna replace it with an oem. Is courtesy nissan supposedly the best in the country for part prices? My dealer only quoted me the complete package, parts and labor for 750. This seems incredibly high. How complex of a job is it? Do u guys recomend just tryin to get the parts somewhere and have an indep shop put it in? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks .

It's not THAT hard but it's time consuming and maybe a little intimidating for a first timer. I could probably pull my tranny in about 2 hours.
Nissan OEM is good stuff for a na motor. It will hold all your na bolt on mods no problem. But make SURE you get the REAL oem stuff. None of the Key Value clutch kit crap that Nissan sells. Get a Nissan T/O bearing. In my experience the pilot shaft bearing gets little or no wear but you can buy one anyway(slight pain to remove though).
You will also NEED to take off the flywheel and get it resurfaced. Impact wrench is best for these bolts.
New tranny output shaft seals should be replaced and new tranny fluid should be put in(as I bet it's never been done)
Do a search for detailed instructions on clutch replacement.
