is that with parts and labor? have you shopped around for prices? it's common knowledge that dealer prices will be 20-40% more than any other place. just shop around for a better price.

I have 31k miles on it. I drive it alot and hard, I love to race and I always thought if I am going to have this kind of a car I would have fun in it. Anyway I am going to shop around, but does anyone know where I can pick up just the clutch??

I have someone who can install if so.

Thanx

They replaced my clutch under warranty when I had my trans replaced. They said it didn't need it but did it anyway while they were there.

If you drive your car hard then maybe you should look into an after market clutch. An after market racing clutch might be more suited for your style of driving.

If I were you, I would demand to replace the clutch under warranty. 31K miles is barely a quarter of an average clutch's life, no matter how hard you drive it.

2 other names that come to mind are tilton and nismo. While you're looking at doing this job, ever consider a lighter weight fly wheel? Your car will transform into a monster!

At 18K miles my trans lost the 4th to 5th and 5th to 6th syncros. It wouldn't even shift into gear w/out the worst grinding noise you've ever heard. And that was IF it didnt pop back out of gear. Even the service manager said the clutch looked fine but tech in California said to replace it anyway. Beats me but at least I got a new one
