They made the 5AT just for people like you.

Did you have any experience with a manual transmission before the Z?

Just replaced mine at 55k. Not as bad as your situation but I still feel your pain

You should be able to replace the clutch but keep the flywheel given your low mileage. That's what I did and saved like $1500
