Ray,
I just did mine a week ago. It is in no way a 12 hour job for a professional. My friend and I knocked it out in about 6 hours and we were taking our time. Even with a stock exhaust, I'd say its 8 hours absolute max.

Clutch kit is about $400 from the standard sources, so even with a shop mark up, it shouldn't be much more than $600. You should absolutely replace the TOB and it should come in the kit.

Flywheel...well, you have to test yours. It should have no more than 15mm of play and it should spring back immediately. If that part is ok, you have to look at the surface for hot spots and such. At 75k miles, i'd probably just replace it. LUK is about $400 to $500 I think and the OEM supplier.
