[s-cars] Clutch Replacement

[Sean Douglas]

The aftermarket clutches are typically Luk which are OEM. I'm pretty sure
the Sachs are a re-packaged Luk. $600 is on the high side.

$600 for labour is about right, but this will not include re\re of the slave
cylinder which should be done while the transmission is out, its cheap
insurance.

Don't forget the flywheel. Most shops will not resurface a dual mass
flywheel, but it can be done.
