    My god, that is a ridiculous price. It's 4 hours labor tops. I don't know if I can drop that kind of money on it. By my calculation they're charging roughly $600 an hour labor after the part cost. It's really terrible they get away with that kind of pricing. Criminal at best...

    I have a turbo 2TR and went with LCE's Dual Comp clutch about a year ago. Grabs like hell, and actually has a lighter feel than stock. I paid like $475 for the clutch, and about $60 to have my flywheel resurfaced one morning. Took me maybe 2hr worth of labor to do, which involved some cleaning and other maintenance.

    If your dealer-installed clutch takes a dump again. Go with the Dual Comp over their Pro Kit. I have absolutely zero complaints with mine.

    Well, she is back in my hands and better than ever. I am thoroughly impressed with the work. I even got some bonus recall work done. I ended up having all the main clutch components changed out (flywheel included, guess you would consider that one of the components), and a rear main seal since they were already in there. Drives like a dream now. The suggestion to take it to the dealer was a good one even though it hit my pocket pretty hard. $1700 total BUT I also got new leafs (recall, no charge) in the back (never asked and was never mentioned by the service advisor). That eased the pain a little. They also did something with a recall in the steering components and were going to do something with the exhaust but I have aftermarket everything under there so they couldn't mess with it. Overall I am happy. I was actually contemplating selling it while it was in the shop. Now that I have it back in good working order, I love it even more than I did the day I bought it.
