cost to have springs in clutch replaced?
I know the cost of the springs is like $5-25, but what will it cost me to have someone do it at a shop and also what is the cost to have someone flush my clutch fluid and replace it with the clear fluid? thanks in advance.

What springs in the clutch are you talking about?
There's a diaphragm spring in the pressure plate assembly, but it's not something you'd replace. You'd just put in a new assembly. It's also called a clutch cover.
There's also some springs in the center of the clutch disc, but you'd replace the whole disc.
Either of those will involve dropping the transmission, and that's going to cost several hundred dollars at a minimum. The two are normally replaced together, so the parts will be several hundred more.
I have no clue what springs in the clutch you could get for $5-25.
Flushing the fluid and bleeding the system sounds like an hour of shop labor, so it's probably around $100, if they know what they're doing. If they don't know what they're doing, you'll get the car back with a dragging clutch or other problems that will make shifting gears a nightmare.

well if you are talking about the springs in the clutch it does not make sense at all to replace those. You might as well change your clutch and anything else in there that needs to be changed

Then it's probably the master and slave cylinders and pedal lubrication you need to think about.
You can lube the clutch pedal bushings and the clevis rod under the dash.
Then remove most of the old fluid from the reservoir with a turkey baster, put in new fluid, bleed the system till you get fresh fluid, and refill the reservoir.
If that doesn't improve the situation, rebuild the master and slave cylinders.

Choppy ?
Describe the pedal a bit more, does it fluctuate or is it a constant ??
The pedal should have a 1/4" play up top and then a smoother transition all the way to the bottom. If this isn't what you have then it's most likely a hydraulic related issue i.e master and slave. In all honesty i would check the system if everything checks out it may be a TOB on its way out or possibly your pressure plate.
Good luck
