Gee, I didn't think the clutch parts were that much. My local indy shop with a stellar reputation and in a high cost of living area, quoted me $3,000 for IMSB, RMS and clutch, parts & labor. What you're telling me is that the clutch alone would be close to that. Is a new flywheel part of a normal clutch replacement job?

By me, Union Line Garage quoted $3,000 for the RMS and IMS (no clutch) and that was with the LN part at ~900. The cost in my last post was at the Porsche dealer since they were covering the RMS and associated labor. I think the flywheel is an every other clutch item so take out about $650 and you are more like $800 for the clutch if the engine is coming out. Porsche labor rate was $175/hr

That's more in line with what I thought.
