Diehl or Ashley's Garage, both on Governor's drive near Clinton. There's another one in that same area that's something like paisley garage...cant recall the name. |

I'm sure most of that is labor for pulling the engine out from under the rear of the vehicle. JC

its the same as a regular car only easier because everything is under the car and the engine mounts are one the top. i think this is a little to high.

You might try Johnsons Foreign Auto over on Putman Dr. I'd say $600 for doing the job right isn't bad. A good Sachs clutch is going to be around $250 retail. Plus machining the flywheel. You lcould always do it yourself. All you need besides regular hand tools are a jack, jackstands, and a flywheel lock(can be purchased at johnsons). John |
