Default Clutch & Diff Install cost?

What would be an average cost to have a clutch and differential installed at the same time, if all parts were supplied?

Thanks!

Probably ~750ish I'd estimate.

Lotta work.

and if you can find it for $750, take it. It is a job. Make sure you have the parts in hand before you tie up a shop's lift or your price will go up quickly .

I had mine done this summer at a dealer for $800.00. I supplied all of the parts and they did a great job. Just watch out for the finger prints from the gloves they wear when working on the car. They leave scratches !!

By the way - very nice car, I have a black 97 and yours looks super. Is that some kind of new perpendicular wing in the back? Just kidding.

$750 - $1,000. I would also do a hardened output shaft as long as you have everything out.

Corvette Country in Austin can do it for ~$700 or around there abouts.

They replaced my clutch a couple months ago.

512-835-6666.

Ask for Donnie the service rep and have John work on the car.

John will really take car of your car, he takes his time and does it right. They have been working on my car for 3 years now and I never had any problems.

actually, I am amazed that someone would be willing to do a differential and clutch job for $750. I would think that cars with headers would drive that price even higher as they need to be at least loosened and swung out of the way...

Personally I can't believe it either. I've done it myself, and did the write-up on it, and I can tell ya that unless I was really desperate - there's no way I'd do it for $750. Maybe $1000.
