[s-cars] In the clutches of a scoobie-doo

[Robert Myers]

Hi Y'all,

The bitter, er, better, half's 2007 Forester 2.5XT with only 16.5K on 
the clock has developed a MAJOR clutch slip problem.  The local 
stealer is waffling on covering it under warranty.

I'm assuming at this time that the repair will be done under 
warranty.  (If not, there will be a battle here.)  With that 
assumption in mind I'm looking for information re: possible clutch 
upgrade at this time.  My bargaining would be assisted if I had a 
ballpark estimate of pricing (parts only) for stock and upgraded 
clutch kits.  The difference in cost is what I really need.  Do any 
of you scoobie owners have any info for me?  Bueller?
