Default need a new clutch

Anyone have any idea how much a new clutch for a 2006 is? What's a fair price for the installation?

Thanks guys.

I was just in your shoes a week ago. See this as an opportunity to upgrade to a stage II or III. I upgraded to a stage III with aluminum flywheel...both of those things with install and tax was $989

+1 on the stage 2 or 3. I personally fried my stock clutch with the SC I was running on 9PSI. I was beating the stock clutch up pretty bad at the track 2 consecutive Friday nights at the track and just elected to buy a new clutch before I broke something, and to improve my ET times. Anyways, be careful in that the stage 3 or higher will be more difficult in a DD situation, but is definately doable, it just takes getting used to. The stage 3, 3+ or super twin which I have are an on or off clutch with little play. It took me a few weeks before I was back tosteering with my knee again, sipping coffee and flipping through my Ipod song index all whilelooking at the drivers next to me in rush hour traffic.

The clutch pedal is definitely a little firmer than the stock clutch but I love it....I feel more in control

Do you recall how many hours of labor they charged you for?
