Question Looking for reputable mobile clutch installer...

I am looking for a reputable, experienced clutch installer in the Houston area (I am just south of Rosenberg) that can get the job done right. Will probably put in a Tick adjustable master at the same time along with clutch, pressure plate, slave cylinder and flywheel. I basically have the tranny dropped, just not enough time or experience to complete it myself.
Anyone that does this or has used someone or knows someone... chime in! Thanks!

It would have probably been cheeper if you hadn't started it yourself. Have you ever seen the shop rate sign that post different rates if you worked on it first or if you want to watch or give advise. The sign is a joke but it usually rings true. Someone on here may offer up to give you a hand of you supply the beer though. I have seen it happen several times. Good luck.

It's pretty simple from the point you are at. You should just google search it watch a few videos and then get a buddy to help you. Like said, you may get someone on the forum to come over and give you a hand for a few beers.

Good luck!

Thanks for the replies. Hey Inspector 12, been in a few forumns with you in the past. Yeah, I am familiar with that sign - Ha! I haven't messed anything up yet. The car is a 1999 30th Ann. TA. I have the car up off the concrete floor with console, drive shaft and torque arm out and all but one bolt on trans out with a jack stand under it. No compressor. I am hoping someone could knock this out this coming weekend. (Sat or Sun, possibly Fri.) Thanks again and let me know.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Oh, and just wanted to note that I wasn't expecting anyone to do this for a few beers. I have no problem paying a fair price for getting this done. At this point , Sunday, Monday or Tuesday would best on my end? Anyone available?

Been doing good. Finally started working on Dirty 30. It's at the Fab shop getting the roll cage, mini-tub, and subframe connectors welded on.
