I just spoke to a shop owner today. He told me $1600 for the clutch job, parts and labor. I think it includes the rear main seal and the intermediate shaft seal.

it's best to have the flywheel change due to it being a duel mass flywheel, they have a rubber bushing between where the clutch engages on the flywheel and the mount point to absorb the jolt of the clutch engaging, the rubber bushing tears and wears out and makes it a harsh clutch, have your rear main seal changed while your there anyway due to the whole thing has to come out again if it leaks 10,000 K's from now, same with your counter shaft seal, also just a little inside tip, have a 997 rear main seal installed, it fits the same but has a little lip on the seal stopping it leaking in future, fixes a commen problem on 986 and 996.
should only take 7 hours max, you'll need a flywheel, 9 flywheel bolts, rear main seal, counter shaft seal, pressure plate, cluch plate. AND GET SOMEONE WHO ONLY WORKS ON PORSCHES, its easy to stuff up a counter shaft seal. i don't see why you would gear box fluid as RandallNeighbour said. maybe a litre of oil due to the oil has to be drained to do a counter shaft seal
