    clutch will run you 100+ but remember where the clutch is usually they like to drope the engine it is easiest that way. that means lots of work = $$$

    $500 for clutch is fair price here, especially in this area. Good thing I have my brother to help me with my clutch otherwise I'd spend that kinda money too.

    That is a very good price for a clutch you are looking at about 5 otr six hours of labor with all the correct tools.
