Is it still worth it?

Does this seem to be in the ballpark for what others have experienced? Also, does this add extra value to the car at resale? Does it add anything to a 11k car?

When I bought mine, I had a very good shop do the ims, rms, and new clutch. A little over 3k. 6k seems a bit high to me but flywheels are expensive (why do they want to replace yours without even seeing it?)

Will you ever see 6k out of these repairs? Very unlikely, but it's a total crap shoot. It depends on year, condition, etc but in general you may see half of it back if you sell it soon. But, if you're selling it soon, why bother with any of these things?

There are plenty of guys who drop huge $ on these cars, but they gave a true love affair with the vehicle and know full well they will never see that money again.
