Labor cost to replace a clutch
What is the average cost for a Clutch change at your local shop/tuner; Labor only. Realize the part costs will be different depending on what type you opt for.

Let me tell you its not cheap I know Andy charges norht of 800 and my local dealer wants 1500. But of course they are full of it. If your are replacing your clutch put something thats worth the labor cost. Im on the same boat.

Be sure to do an alignment after you get this done as well. The reputable shops around here charge $500 +/- a little.

I paid 390 for the labor on mine and i have Long tubes
i think that was 6.5 hours labor
it was a local clutch shop and they were happy to do it for that price
so apparently when you are a clutch shop its not that hard

BTW the 06 z06 clutch is great it holds like crazy and you cannot tell that it is not a c5 stock unit except that it ingages realy close to the floor (I don't even notice that anymore)

It cost me $600 for the labor. I had the Hurst shifter installed at the same time for no extra labor charge. Also, I have long tube headers that they had to contend with. I thought $600 was a fair price.
