I've been quoted 4.5 hours and $1,500.00 if they supply the parts. I didn't jump at the chance....still looking around.

which is a helluva deal when one finds out how tedious the task is. If you have headers the number just went up $250-$500. If you can find a reputable shop that will do the job for $500 to $800 , I would jump all over it. Depending on what area of the country you live in, the price could be considerably higher.

If you are adventurous, you could do the job yourself and do some nice tasks along the way, install a scattershield, check your torque tube couplings, maybe even swap gears for grins. It's not a hard job, but certainly not one for the faint of heart.

Default clutch 99 coupe

I just had mine replaced this month at 21st century muscle cars. They replaced mine with an LS6 clutch, flywheel, slave and master cylinders, and drilled out something in the cylinders increasing the performance of the clutch system all for $990. The clutch now is lighter than the original.

Thanks for the info....

My car is on the way to Guam...I hope there i someone who can do the job out there if needed..It seems alot of work to take all the drive train out to get access to the drive shaft and then to the clutch ????

Best I have seen so far is from DTE DyanoTech Engineering Inc. The price for a SPEC 1 installed complete is 859.00
