Default Good price for clutch install?

I'm looking to install an action clutch 2md on my GSR, so far the prices i've been quoted are around $250. Is that a resonable price for the work? If not how much and are there good places around CT, NY and mabye NJ? thanks

Yeah, a jack, jackstands, good socket set, breaker bar, and time.
Really not that difficult, using a Helms or the C-Speed site will explain what you need to do.

It shouldn't be hard to do, but I suggest you inlist the help of someone that has done one before. It's not a job you want to tackle alone especially if you've never done it before.

If you can take a tranny off and you've gotten that far, then you can swap a clutch in..

Its pretty straight forward. Just get some jack stands and good floor jack. You will need a 12mm 12 point socket to get the clutch plate off the fly wheel. Also have someone put a breaker bar on the crank while you take this off. I beleive the crank bolt is 19mm. I took me about four hours to do mine.

i think 250 is cheap to switch out the clucth. It usually around 500 for a cluctch change, 259 to take out tranny and another 250 to put clucth in.

If you want I could show you how to do it (for a small fee) you do the work and I'll guide you thru the complete process- Just make sure you have all the tools ready to go.
