Clutch replacement cost.
Own a 1997 M6, I am wondering what the labor costs are for replacing clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel. Any help appreciated. Regards Marty

$2083.63 I about fell out of my chair! Is this or is this not a fair price for just a OEM clutch and replace the rear main seal?

The clutch is very easy to do yourself. Getting the torque tube attached to the front was the challenge for us.
A factory shop manual is very helpful. The bolts on the pressure plate and flywheel need to be torqued to a specific lb. and in a specific order. Failure to do so will lead to vibration.
While you're at it, may as well put in a speed bleeder and definitely a new pilot bearing. In fact, buy 2 pilot bearings as they're about $12 each and you have one in case you tear one up installing it.
Might also be a good idea to get a thicker tunnel plate.

A local late model GM performance/LSx shop here is charging me $675 to swap in a LS7 clutch kit/slave/remote bleeder for my 02 Z06 right now actually, dropped it off today/picking up tomorrow. Seems a little steep but I know they do great work usually and certainly know what they're doing w/ Vettes...
