Yup, I'd say around half a grand at the dealership. It will be done right though.

$300 :no: , i got quoted $800 my friend.

my friend at StreeSpeed Inc. will do it for $350 also installing syncros. me and my uncle will take off the tranny and bring it to him and re-install it later, this way i save $300. if you have any friends who are knowledgeable about cars, this would be a great way to save some money, if not save up and go to the dealership.

acura is sayiing 873 for clutch, pressure plate, and bushings, and an additional 300 for a new flywheel and they don't do resurfacing so a new flywheel would be my only option at the acura dealership.

damn i hate the stealership in indy

so my other option is to purchase aftermarket parts and have a local shop install them, so what would be a good recommendation for clutch/flywheel combo for an everyday driver?

haha, well i found out while my brother was borrowing my car b/c i didn't take it to college he decided to "adjust" the brake pedal and well instead of tightening it he loosened it so i adjusted the clutch pedal and took it out for a spin and there is no slip or anything. The clutch just felt really odd to me and the play was over half the pedal b4 it engaged.

so i don't need a clutch

$800 labor? You were gonna get raped. I guess they figured you for an easy target.
