Clutch install on my 99GSR.
I WAS thinking about doing this myself, but then I saw a couple of installs in the DIY section and I was like fuck that. That's a lot of work, and I am sure to fuck something up...Anyways, I placed a call to a local shop that I frequent and since I already have the parts the labor was quoted at $420-460. Does this sound high, low or about right? Or is this any way to get this done cheaper, short of me doing it myself. If anyone has an suggestions on another place that might do it for cheaper then let me know. I am in the (949) S. Orange County area.

My cousin was getting quotes for his integra, and they were usually around $600 to $700 just for labor, so it sounds like you're getting a pretty good deal. Of course, that is the San Diego area, so it's possible that labor is cheaper in Orange County.

Doubtful. They are as overpaid for labor as anywhere in California. I had my clutch replaced back in the day in California for $600 parts and labor.

I have 2 people, but the dissambly of it seems abundant which is discouraging to want to tackle. If Schmoo was still around I'd pay him 250 to allow me to help him do it so it comes out right.

Shit, I'll be back there in two weeks, but I only have 3 days. $250 is pretty tempting, though since I am running out of money.

Well the price seems rather decent then huh...Like I said on my 89 I paid Sandy Hill Automotive outside Ft. Polk LA 250 to install a clutch, so obviously that number is branded in my brain, and it came out good too!!!

Can it be done? If your 3 days are spoken for let me know, that's cool...but if you think you want to make 250 let me know. I'll help you. You quarterback I'll learn something. We can set aside a day for it, but yeah let me know. No pressure. Do you still have access to all your tools or was everything re-located?

h:I don't know if I will have time to help you out, though. The schedule isn't set in stone, but I may be able to come up there for maybe half a day and help you out.
