Bob,

If you did it in five hours (especially the first time),  I suggest YOU
produce a video! <G>

The parts shouldn't run more than $450, and the labor would be no more than
5.5 hrs.  So that seems high.  When I did mine for the first time, I did it
in 5 hours, and for $450 I got a SPEC clutch/PP/TOB.
