I was finding labor quotes from 8 to ten hours , but never saw a rate book number for the job. How much the hours cost varies.
I paid around 800 bucks labor for the job from a dedicated Corvette garage. Be sure and address the torque tube wear .
Just to be interesting, the car had only a vacant space where the pilot bearing belonged. Nothing but dust, but I put a lot of miles on a hurt clutch, looking for a garage that knew the car.
In my local area, you can find german specialty garages all day long, good ones. High end chevy repair, forget it. Don't ask me how I know these cars need a better than average shop.

The job isn't that bad. Dropping the cradle reminds me of a FWD car, and once you free the harness the TT it a cakewalk to free up off of the bellhousing. Only takes a couple hours to get that far. At that point, the clutch is staring through the bellhousing right at you, it's not that much worse than doing it on a normal car. More time consuming? Yeah, but it's not that big of a pain. Nowhere near what I experienced yanking the 4.7L V8 from a Grand Cherokee. NEVER AGAIN.
