I don't see that as being as far out of line as other do. We just finished an IMS Solution (dual row) installation on a 2001 car, which included a new clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, RMS, new plugs, oil change, air filter, brake/clutch flush, and a couple of other minor updates; the parts bill alone was well over $3K and obviously does not take into account the labor hours to complete the job. So your estimate of $5K for even more work does not seem off base.
