Good price, for sure. Clutch job usually goes between 400-600 bucks, with all fluids included. Since it's a IX, ask him if he blead the ACD, some guys don't know how to do it

At that amount of hrs with the cost, before tax... and assuming he owned the shop or wherever he was at... he made 35.63 an hour. Now I don't know about you, but that's an awful lot of money to make to me.

He won't say, afraid of advertising on the forums, but he could just PM the people who are interested...

Do you hate him? Haha But seriously, thats insanely good of a deal. I paid a buddy of mine a 300 to do the clutch on my old GST, unfortunately he was NOT a good mechanic and I ended up at a different mechanic a few weeks later paying to have another new clutch done.
