- Labor - 9.7hrs @150/hr = $1,470

A - Does this seem like a fair estimate? Is the Sachs clutch kit of comparable quality?
B - Is there anything else I should have him look at / do while he's in there?
C - I've replaced basically everything on my front and rear suspension DIY - how challenging would this be to do myself? Obviously I don't want to f-up my car, but it would be rewarding and I could save about $2k by doing it myself.
The RMS is a no brainer and I'm not sure if the kit includes the release bearing or not. Also, scrutize the flywheel. Not every mechanic does but while you are in there . . . . Pricy but while you are in there . . .

I had the whole works done plus a brake/clutch fluid change 2 years ago and it came to ~$5K CDN so using today's exchange rate that is ~$3,800 USD. So considering the flywheel your $3,349 doesn't sound too bad.

PS Mine has the Sachs and it works beautifully.
