How much should I pay to have an input shaft and clutch installed?

[specizripn]

So I called the shop I got my car dyno tuned at and they quoted me $1175 in labor to install the following:
-26 Spline Input Shaft
-Twin Disk Clutch
-TOB
-TOB sleeve
-Weld-in full length subframe connectors

This seems really high... What should I expect to pay for the installation of these? I have the shims and synchromesh fluid aswell. Thanks

For a point of reference, I paid ~$500 to have my clutch installed.

Input shaft will require some more work as you have to take the front cover off. Subframes will also take some more time. In general, I think $1000+ is a bit high just for labor.

That's ridiculous... 500-600 no more, keep asking around

Do it your self. There is so much information here on the forum its crazy. $1,000 for a clutch job is retarded. Installing the clutch is the easiest part. Longest part is getting everything out of the way to get to it (Mid pipe, drive shaft, transmission, etc)

I paid 4.5 hrs labor for my new clutch and 26 spline install.
Came out to $360

Hey Jomo, where did you have your work done? Also, would you recommend them to anyone else? Thanks!

I got quoted $750 for just the input shaft.

It also depends on location. Hourly rates can very all over the country! For instance, locally is around 70/hr, if I go to the big city it can go as much as 150/hr.
