Where to get clutch installed???

I recently purchased a new clutch for my wrx, and have done some pricing but every one seems to wan't about 400+ then another 40 for flywheelre surfacing, with out using negotiation =) I heard theres shops in which would install clutches for 250? Any good shops around any one can recomend thats resnobly priced?

Thanx for your help!

$250? That comes out to about $40/hr for labor. That's unheard of in the SFBA these days. Its about a 6 man-hr job. $400+ is about right.

That'll teach you to be nicer to you clutch

AWD cars are MUCH more labor for clutches, I ont think you will find any reputable shop that will do it for anywhere close the $250

I'd tell you to go either to MPJ/GB or LIC- depending on where you are located.


definetly not at a 76 station

I also highly suggest LIC Motorsports. Those guys are great, I made a 150 mile round trip just so I could have them do my 30k service!
