Damian,
That's a high quote. For a TR6, the parts are about $130-$180.
There is alot of work involved. You basically need to remove the transmission.
At $50/hour, the guy is basing his quote at 15 hours. I'm preparing to do a
clutch
job myself and I've been told it's about 3 hours out and 2.5 in (or
something like
that). So, if it's 6 hours, the job should be about $450. You can do alot to
bring that
cost down. Take out the center console and transmission cover. If the
mechanic is not a
long distance, you can drive the car there. Have him do the heavy stuff and
put the cover and
console back yourself. This will save about 2 hours (1 out and 1 in).
hope this helps,
Jeff N.
