Larry,
As Bill mentioned, labor will be a significant portion of your bill! You
will save at least a couple of hours if you are willing to do some prep work
beforehand and then do the final "fit & finish" work after the clutch is
installed.......here's how: Beforehand: remove the passenger seat. If you
have nice carpets in the front footwells - remove them. Remove the radio
and center A bracket; remove the transmission tunnel and carpet then
reinstall it with a few bolts on each side just to keep it attached.
Basically, you want to get the interior stripped down to the point where
the technician only needs to remove the driver's seat and trans tunnel to
start the job. If you run into a snag with frozen bolts, stripped threads,
etc while you're doing the prep work it's a lot cheaper for you to deal with
then your technician dealing with those issues:)
After the clutch is in and everything is buttoned up, you can replace the
interior stuff (on your clock!) at your leisure.
If the trans comes out okay and everything replaces without a hitch, you
should save a few bucks.

I guess it depends on who does the labor If you do it, then the cost is
just
for parts, the LUK kit costs $259 at Moss, and would be the most expensive
way
to go. Most labor is at least $75 per hour I would estimate at least
four
hours, that is about what time it took me and a friend to replace on my
TR6

Just trying to get a ballpark figure for a clutch replacement on a TR6?
