The dealer here wants $1200.  You can half that easily.  Parts run around
$270 from Linda...  Bellevue Motorsports quoted me between $500 and $600
parts and labor (can't remember exactly what).  (5kCSQ BTW)

This was around a year and 22k miles ago.  I decided to wait for
obvious symptoms of impending clutch doom which have been conspicuous
by their absence so far.

I have had one clutch die on me in my life (on the Euston Road
in London of all places)... it failed engaged for a while
which got me to a few blocks of my destination before it
turned into clutch schrapnel.

Now the linkage on my UrQ did snap, but that was outside my front
door, so I don't count that since it was fixable with hardware
store parts.
