Have a look at Classical Mechanics by Prof. V. Bakakrishnan. It's the best I have come across, and have recommended it to many here. The lectures are also available in the PF media gallery. Use the search option to search for them.

Just an addition after I looked at what @smodak has suggested: the two suggestions are a bit different in the sense that, Prof. Balakrishnan teaches classical formalism. Be sure to go through the topics closely to see which one suits you the best.
 
got it! thanks
