Toby just a couple questions for you ... the S is in need of a new clutch ... what can you do for price on a new one OEM or aftermarket... also do you think if I went with OEM that I could get away with reusing the stock throw-out bering and pressure plate... that way I would only have to buy the disc? also what do you charge for labor to do it?
Thanks for your help

Normally if the clutch is slipping or burnt it will need a new pressure plate. The mod of choice is a ACT pressure plate and stock disc. I will have to wait until monday to get accurate pricing on the parts for you but I can tell you now the labor is $300 and the clutch disc and pressure plate are around $390. (OEM)
ANd yes most likely you can reuse the T/O bearing.

ok I will probably do it my self .... can it be done by just droping the transmission? or does the engine have to come out... I have never done a clutch on a rwd

The front suspension and engine have to be loosened and dropped out of the car, the tranny wont clear the firewall otherwise. Good luck.

That does NOT sound like a fun task.

Thanks for the advise ... didnt mean to come off rude at all ... $300 is a good price for the install .. I will probably do it my self so I will be able to do it next time. did you ever find final prices on the ACT and OEM
