Clutch and LSD install
I'm interested in buying both the Works stgII clutch kit and the RRM LSD. Does anyone have an approximation as to the number of hours needed for installation?
I was quoted about 15 hours for both at $82/hour CAD from a dealer here that has done one LSD before.
Does that sound resonable?
Thanks!

No. They're quoting what the book says for each job separately, added together. Most of the labor involved in the LSD install is removing/replacing the tranny in the car. If you do that while changing the clutch, it's already done.
I've seen nothing that would keep both of those combined from being a 6 hour job, max.
Our tranny doesn't look like it'd be very hard to pull, and once you get the tranny out, installing the LSD is pretty quick. I had a FWD DSM tranny (not quite the same, but very similar) apart a couple weekends ago, changing the 3-4 shift fork. Disassembling two busted trannies, and then reassembling one working one took less than 3 hours.
A simple clutch change can be done in less than two hours.
