About 1k is my guess as a good deal. Dealer book quotes 20.5 hrs to do it. It is rather involved. Make certain to do a remote bleeder and depending on milage do a slave. Cost of parts is small to the cost of GOING BACK IN......

Just did mine. Byunspeed had a good price on Textralia clutches. Did that and (as stated above) did the slave and remote and pilot bearing. About $1150 parts. Labor in my case was an "extra" $300 because they were r/r-ing the rear end.

I would def, do the slave (at least while its all apart) and pilot bearing is a MUST. its $200 well spent. You can always do the master later, if you like. Also several guys rave about the remote bleeder too.

Cheapest labor is about $400. On up to whatever you want to spend. Seen some pay 2 grand in labor. Parts can be $700. to however much you wanna spend. See the trend?

I did mine and midway in I wished I spent the $450. I was quoted for labor. Afterwards in hindsight it was pretty easy. If you pay over 5 or 6 hundred in labor, at least get a kiss.

Time depends on who, experience, and unforeseen problems.
