How much would you pay
Let me start off by saying I'm not trying to b.tch or complain.
Is $825 reasonable for labor on a mitsubishi clutch install. I'm in the middle of Oklahoma, unfortunantly, and nobody (besides the dealership) has the tools to do the install correctly. Esentially, I'm stuck. Does anyone know if it takes 23 hours to do the install? Does anyone know of a reputable mechanic in the OKC metro that has experience with evos or
s in general?

It does not take 23 hours to do a clutch install. A dealer will normally charge you the shop rate and the number of hours "by the book." The mechanic will of course finish the job in much less time and move on to the next job. Dealership mechanics typically have "extra incentive" to complete the job as quickly as possible while charging the customer the full amount.

I called another dealership and they quoted me at $625. The goodyear mechanic that originally was going to install the clutch didn't have the proper tools, but he quoted me at $400 (5 hours of work).
No, the parts price was not included on any of these quotes.
