Does any one have a recomended shop for a clutch install in Western Wa? How much does labor run?

Pina motorsports in kent....253-872-9495. They'll have an ok price, but the point is that they specialize in mitsubishi. It will be done right the first time no doubt.

How much does a typical clutch install cost for an Evo? Just curious. I've only attempted 2 clutch installs... on my E36 M3 and my Civic... both went smooth and each took all day with a friend. I've contemplated doing my own on the Evo but is a little reluctant to dive into it at the moment. If it's ~$350 for Labor I'll probably take it to a shop.

I'd call Mountain Mits and see what they say about the install... We got the huge three book set of manuals for the Evo and I think Jeremy is going to try doing it on his own. I would definately go with an aftermarket clutch (Maybe ACT or Exedy).

Here's a link on the forum where someone goes into much better detail than I can!

As a person that has done a clutch job on an EVO, I would highy recommend doing it on a lift. The clutch job is not easy.

As for shop recommendations, only use shops that other EVO owners have used for their clutch replacements. This way you know that they can install one correctly. Also, when choosing a clutch, you should try out different ones. See if anyone in your area will let you test drive there cars for evaluation purposes. Unfortunately for me, there are no other EVO's roaming in my area w/ aftermarket clutches. So I just went w/ Vishnu recommendation and got a Exedy twin disc, which I highly recommend.

The place that I installed my twin disc at charges about $400-$450 for a clutch change (depending what fluids you want). They have a factory trained Mitsu tech that comes in and does it. Plus, there open on weekends which is cool.

Is $700 for labor a good price? That's how much I was quoted from the recommended shop.

I paid $335 for labor at Clutch Doctors. Look them up on the net, I know they have a few locations in WA. They did a good job with the install of my clutch.

$335 is reasonable to me but $700 is a little steep IMHO, unless it includes the clutch.

^ i agree. $700 is a lot of dough, especially compared to $335. jdog isnt the first evo i know of to get a new clutch installed there. i have heard they do great work, from more than 1 person.
