Pauls price at Maximillian of $325 including shipping seems pretty good. I get wholesale pricing from my dealer and paid a bit more without shipping.

If you're planning to do the replacement by yourself and have never done it before, I wouldn't be too enticed by his estimate of six hours though.

It's a straight forward job I'll admit but a few of the bell housing bolts can really try your patience. And getting the top two bolts back in will really test your mettle.

If the old disc is pretty worn, I would take a close look at the flywheel too. It's not much money to have the flywheel resurfaced but will delay the project a few days. Remember that a worn flywheel can make a new clutch chatter and will reduce clamping pressure.

Lastly, everyone is right about a new clutch. It will be so easy and smooth, you'll wonder why you waited so long!

Good Luck!
