Replacement 5spd from a dismantler, serviceable DMFW from dismantler, LN IMS bearing, RMS seal, Sachs clutch & pressure plate assy, water pump, LN T-Stat, 3 idler pulleys, E-Brake rebuild, fresh coolant, fresh coolant hoses... about $4300 total. Ouch!
Probably close to normal maintenance on a car with 98k miles and 60+ track days though. This was the first serious maintenance done in 6 years of ownership.

Funny story on mine. Bought my 02 S in Nov of 2010 with a known bad clutch. Towed it home and had a shop do the work for me, or so I thought. Clutch was definitely replaced with new, also flywheel. Purchased an LN bearing too, and requested it be installed at the same time, turns out it wasn't installed. Found out later when my rod bearing went south on tear down. Huh, no LN bearing, WTF! 
Turns out it was fine with 137K on it. Now installed in engine. The shop I paid refunded my additional labor, and found the LN bearing "laying around". The so-called tech had since moved on. Still looking to run into him, it's a small town here.
:dance:
Ln kit $575, Clutch & Flywheel $750, $700 in labor.
First drive on rebuilt engine last night. Very happy now.

The IMS was in very good condition with both seals intact, no noise or bearing play at all. With 98K it was definitely not new but not going down the tubes anytime soon.

I did mine in my garage while replacing my clutch. My cost was $759. it took me three evenings to replace the clutch PP Flywheel and IMS. Actual time on the IMS was only an hour and a half, with tool kit from LN. My bearing click lightly when it was spun the seals were intact but it had been leaking because some one had put a ton of silicon around it.

I purchased a sissors type Transmission jack from Harbor Freight. It lifts to 30". I fabricatted a cradle that extended the reach 10" higher so the car was at a easy height to sit on a roller and work. The Maxjax has 3 lift heights where a pin can be placed to secure the height. I set it there and everything worked out well.
