so anyway, if its burnt, whats the damage to change it out.....okay I'll sit and cringe as I wait for replies....
If you smoked your clutch a few times it doesn't mean it has to be replaced. It's definitely not good for it and reduces its life, but no need to spend $1500-$2000 getting a new clutch put in.

If you do need a new clutch I would suggest you call every dealer within 100 miles to see who has the best price. The pricing varies so much from dealer to dealer you have to price things out; otherwise, you'll lose a bunch of money.

From what I've heard it sounds like you have the flywheel replaced at the same time simply since the tranny is already apart.
