I just had my clutch replaced
Ordered the Sachs K7029001 kit
Best price I found was $325 at Rock Auto and FCPeuro matched it
I went with FCP because they had better shipping speed

My car is just under 82K miles and in fact the clutch was still good, but the throwout bearing was completely shot and the DMFW also was done.

Th clutch plate still had around 20-25% life left. I am guessing the TOB was done due to the tracking I do with the car and the DMFW had about 90 deg of movement each way. Spec is 15 deg

I was lucky as several months ago I had found a DMFW that had 9 miles on it, essentially brand new for $125 on ebay so it saved me a lot of $$.

My indy was in the process of moving his shop, so his lift was out of commission and he did the replacement on jack stands.

I know a guy up your way (corona) that will probably do a clutch replacement for around $500 labor if you want. PM me and I pass on his info. He is a VERY reputable shop, does a lot of track cars for POC guys and was highly recommended.

If you pull the DMFW, you need to replace the 8 bolts and they run a couple of $ each
