Hello I am in search of a good indy shop in Denver, CO that can do a clutch replacement for me for a fair price. So far i have received 3 quotes in the 12-1500 range and according to several on this board it should be less thank 1K correct <_< . Anyone have any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks

Well I was checking some parts prices over the web:

duel mass flywheel- $800

Sachs clutch kit - $500

Nevermind the ancillaries, pilot bearing, RMS or intermediate shaft seal if needed, clutch slave , pivot pin, pivot spring, slave, guide sleeve wt seals. You get the idea. Clutches done on the AWD cars at a decent shop run more towards 2k. I don't think the prices they have given you are bad but the devil is in the details. I'm fairly sure they are not going to replace the flywheel for that $$. If the car has over 60k , or there is any oil exposure to the center section of it, there is a good chance it will need one with the kit. If you've got a weekend you could try a DIY clutch R&R.

Just out of curiosity why do you say that shops are charging AWD cars close to 2K when according to Loren and Porsche repair estimates both RWD and AWD cars require the same 3.8 hours for the job. From what i understand the repair is the same no matter what platform. Thanks
