tekmoe · 03-22-2011, 12:58 PM

Sounds fair to me. I'd pay it.

Z4-VILLA · 03-22-2011, 01:02 PM

yeah it is a lot of work...for the price i almost cant say no

Z4-VILLA · 03-22-2011, 01:03 PM

i just wonder what everyone else paid for similar service

i like my post count btw....

I would say the clutch install only would be $600+ most places. Seems like a good price.

Z4Murder · 03-22-2011, 01:33 PM

yea a clutch install isnt cheap. if i wasnt doing the headers on my own, i would be fine with 850$ for the clutch and header install. you've got a few other mods youre trying to do right? maybe see if he'll throw something else in for that price?

yeah ssk, uuc engine mounts, ss brake lines, cdv, headers, clutch. i hope i get it all in at about 1200.00

I bet you'll get more of a deal if you have him install more of those mods at once. or if you wanna stixk with 850, see if he'll do something fairly simple as well like the brake lines and CDV

seems like a good deal! My MR2's clutch labor was already $500 on its own. Not much room to work with in that car =/

Just wondering, what mileage did your original clutch fail?

Z4-VILLA · 03-23-2011, 06:20 PM
