My clutch is dying (was quoted 8 hours of labor)
Timing belt would be great to replace (100K ââ¬â quoted 4.5 hrs)
Is that reasonable? I'm not sure...

If the SVT tranny is anything like the mtx75, it is not 8 hours. more like 4, thats coming from somebody who just performed his 1st clutch swap last year. ;) They may be including the time for the flywheel to be machined in that though. But R&R is not 8 hours.
4.5 hours for timing belt sounds about right. make sure they include a new waterpump in that quote :)
And guys....frig...help him out, I made a friggin sticky for this exact questions. :rolleyes:
