Are they pulling tranny as well? Stock rebuild? It is a "fair" price either way, a little high, but not bad.

Agreed, if they will R&R the trans and make sure its buttoned up. Are they replacing the clutch master or slave?? Depending on the year of the car and milage, you may want to consider that as well.

Also see what the price would be with some basic upgrade such as clutch forks or pads. It may not be that much more and it would give the trans a little more reliability.

If they would cut you a deal for taking it out yourself and bringing it there, you may want to consider that to cut cost. Bearing in mind you have the space, tools, or know how.

Agreed. If you can yank it yourself, most shops charge couple hundred bucks to yank it, so that could save you some there. But, if you don't have the space/tools, etc...obviously no go there. But, if you can give us more details on what exactly they plan on doing, we can tell you what's fair or not. (pulling tranny out to put seals in it and that's all, your getting ripped, for example)
