clutch job price
I just got quoted a price of 820 bucks for ACT Steet clutch, throwout bearing and rear main seal installation and parts . Its at one of the tune shops. I usually like doing things myself but not sure i want to spend all that time under the car, getting a little old at 54. Seems to me to be only about 300 for the labor. Guess Im just trying to decide whether or not to do it myself. Opinions appreciated

yeah it really does sound fair. I guess my thing is it seems like for whatever reason things get fucked up when i bring it to somebody, but these guys do list Miatas as one of their specialtys. And I do get satisfaction from doing stuff myself, but the clutch job sounds a little nasty, not hard but nasty

I guess other option would be $100.00 for stock clutch and 17 from Rosenthal and do it myself. That would be a good savings that might relieve some of the bodily pain I see coming from this job.
Im not gonna up the boost (5 PSI) and dont launch so I think the stock clutch would work fine

For the price of the clutch kit check Carolina Clutch and Performance, Inc.: Performance Clutches & Flywheels they have the best price and free shipping.

I was quoted from $250 to $450 locally with me supplying all of the parts. The $250 source did not have time to do it, so basically I was looking at $450. So I did it myself.
For $200 (cueball1) I would have happily paid someone else to do it as long as I know they did it correctly.

If the car is not a DD and you have a garage I would reccomend doing it yourself. You will need a tranmision jack and about 1.5 to 2 feet worth of extensions. With those the job is not to bad. Braineack and I can do it in about 2 hours now if we try, 3 hours taking our time. Remeber when you go to put the tranmission back in to jack the engine up some so the backend leans downward. Will make it go in smooth as butter.
