Thanks for the suggestions everyone,
Today we decided to just go ahead and order a new clutch assembly, it should arrive sometime next week. The spring isn't labeled as an individual part in the manual, so we had to order the clutch as a whole. If this doesn't work, with the new clutch pads and getting the residue off the pulley plates, I'd be stumped as what else could be the problem. With the new parts we'll have new pads, clutch bell, and a belt. So hopefully this will be a permanent (well at least for a year or two) fix.
