Do yourself a favour and ask them how much for a new clutch pressure plate & dual mass flywheel. While you are paying for the labour to have the transmission removed you may as well have a new clutch etc fitted.
When my IMS was replaced the old clutch felt fine, however, upon removal it was cactus. The new clutch assy felt much better and also had a lighter action.
Typically clutch, p plate, flywheel and bearing assemblies cost about $2000.
This will bring your cost almost inline with Bob Whyms.
So compare the two and ask PRT how many have they done.
Also, what year is your vehicle? Single or dual bearing?

Hey man,

Thanks for the info, talked to bob today, got a quote to do the clutch kit, fly wheel, rms, ims, water pump, engine mount (front), spark plug tubes and o rings for around 6500. It's a lot of money, but I'm getting it done with him. At least that should mean lower ongoing maintenance costs for the next few years!

And an oil service and cam plugs

If you are handy with a spanner, you can do the engine mount,spark plugs, tubes,o rings and water pump yourself. Plenty of how to on this board and on Pelican Parts.

Yer I use to tinker with my motorbike, but at the moment I just can't, some idiot in a 4wd rear ended me on my bike while I stopped for a red light, so my backs fractured in 3 places atm, luckily I can walk etc, but anything more kills me plus I just want the car done I got it reasonably cheap after bargaining with a guy for a week, so it's covered all these costs anyway

Thanks so much for ur help! Canberra needs a mechanic who can do all this, but I guess we are too small
