    Anyone tell me the typical price of a clutch replacement including labor?
    Does anyone else have an ACT clutch (street stock or modified)?
    Should I upgrade to the ACT streetlight flywheel as well?

    Drivability?

    last question...what seals should I replace once it's opened up? Is the rear main seal a good idea?

    Hmmm...When I got my clutch replaced with Spec and labor it was around $600..$300Spec stg 3 and $300 labor...I got my employee rate though...so it might be around $450-$500 for reg. prices from other mechanics for labor. Ebay I think for stock clutch for a WRX is like $189-$199 Stock exedy.

    Hmm. I can tell you for sure I won't go to the dealer. Of course, I knew the dealer would be high in price, but morries quoted me 1100 with our discount!? wow... :shock:

    Hey Steve, I talked to Bill The labor for the clutch will be around $645-10% off. I'd recommend getting your clutch on Ebay (way cheaper for stock) and a lite weight Flywheel. Overall I should be $100 less maybe a bit more with you buying your own parts. The parts are not warrantied unless you bought the part from us.

    oh...I just remembered...I have a stock clutch in great shape only 7k on it. At home I do not need it because I have my spec already installed. If you want I'll sell it to you cheap. I even have my stock flywheel if you need it
