My mechanic charged me 800 for the clutch and he gave me a good deal. Bc i got the front bushings and tie rods, links and bunch of other stuff done at the same time. So if the dealer is giving you a price of 800.00 including parts its not to bad.

They do not have to remove the engine/tranny. The have to only remove the trans. You cannot remove the front end to get at the clutch either. 800 sounds reasonable from a dealer. parts plus labour plus taxes.

ok sorry let me rephrase

front end, i meant the front suspension, the A arms and everything else with it.

as for the engine and tranny, in my car they had to lift one side of the engine in order to get the tranny out. So they did have to move the engine out a bit.
