It's $950.00 for the labor and $15.00 for the RMS part, $377.00 for the complete clutch kit. I'm hoping I won't need a new flywheel. We'll see.

I had dealer do the clutch for me, Parts & Labor $1400... You should check with your local dealer. Sounds like the indy shop is going to save you about $80. That's not worth it in my opinion.

Steelership wanted 1,200 just for labor alone! Boardwalk Porsche, Plano Tx.

Personally I'd still rather fork over the exta $250 in labor and know that Porsche is behind the work and anything that goes wrong is on them...It's a big job I wouldn't trust just anyone. I'm sure you are aware but they will be dropping your tranny.

You can supply them the parts, you don't have to pay what they charge for the kit.

ALL of the dealerships in Dallas told me this: "We can install any part you provide us, we just can't garuntee/warranty the work done if you don't buy it from us." All the other German Mechanic shops in my area WILL use other poeples parts and WILL warranty the work done. Go figure. The only benifit the dealership offered that the other places could not do was the quick turn around. 1-2 days at dealership and 3-4 days at other shops. I gues they just don't have the man power to turn it around that fast.

Wow Dealers in Dallas suck. Maybe my relationship with my dealer is just good and they like to "hook me up"

Well, you may want to ask about the warranty on parts. MOST dealers don't tell you about this unless you ASK THEM. They will just do the work with no questions asked. Then, if your part breaks, all they have to say is that they warranty the work done but not the parts because you did not buy them there, so they cannot be held responsible. It's stupid, but that's how most ALL dealerships work.
