Clutch fitted price...
Hi
Get this, I've just been quoted £480 to fit a new clutch on my VTR :/
I would do it myself if I had the time
But that price seems extortionate!
Anyone got a good idea of what it should really cost?
Surely not half a grand!

Exactly my theory!
Part I understand is 80-100
Labour on top is no where near £400!

This is true!
I've been quoted £375 for a refurbished gearbox, LUK clutch and fitting
Sounds like I'll be going for that!
Also reminds me I need to sort tracking!
