How much should labor be for a clutch job?

 

I paid $600 at local P car shop... a dealer will charge u $1800.

 

At that labor price I'm assuming the engine didn't come out. Is that correct?

 

It did... ist just not a place that charged me $150 an hour like some do...
I did a deal.. and older shops that do 993s and 930 s... will do it cheaper...
If hes paying more then $1200 at a stiff u kind of place.. thats too much...
it takes 1 hour to drop the motor... maybe 2 hours to do the clutch... and another to put back in... so even if they take all day that should not be more then $800 to $1000 dollars.

 

So is it quicker to drop a 996TT engine than it is a 993TT engine? Sorry for the off topic Pratt.

 

that I cant tell... ist just a day of work... and if u find a shop that does $100 an hour... some charge lees... u get it doen for a days of work.

 

Ha!!! my evil seed is beginning to sprout. I heard Pratt on the phone with Alex. Discussing a new clutch as well as GIAC, Diverter valves, exhaust, etc..! What's a new clutch without a shorty shifter? Its a must in my opinion

 

Find a good independent shop, will be 1/2 that price.

 

In had to replace my clutch at somewhere between 30k and 35k miles. It cost $2000 at the Ruf Auto Centre here in Dallas -- fantastic people there.

 

I strongly recommend buying the clutch from whoever is installing it.

I bought an aftermarket clutch once and had a mechanic install it (in an Rx7). It was installed improperly and didn't work right. The clutch manufacturer and the mechanic blamed each other.

In the end I had the dealer install a factory clutch.

Just have your mechanic supply the part and install it. That way you pay one person for everything and have accountability.

This should be a rule of thumb in any parts/labor transaction.

 

Alex said it would be a stage 4 sachs pressure plate, & GT2 disc. I know Max RPM is well thought of through the local PCA, any other non-dealer suggestions for a place where I can get an install and parts: I will email the previous suggestion.
