The guy I bring my S to, recommended by a board member, so far has been great and I am very impressed with his work. Top quality.
For the clutch replacement he charges $430 on labor. I imagine doing the IMS at the same time he would charge me probably another $210-300 at the most (labor only). As the IMS retrofit kit is in the $700-800 ballpark from what I know, a full clutch replacement plus IMS kit would not cost more than $1800-1900 what is very cheap considering what you are getting for.
Others may charge way more per hour than this guy over here does.
Anyone has any idea how much more work it is to replace the IMS once you are already doing the clutch? I mean if you need 6-7 hours to do the clutch, how much more labor (timewise) to do the IMS?
I guess that is what we get when healthcare is free. Cheaper labor overall.
