    $150.00 for installation
    $ 95.00 for the clutch

    so, now you get to ask yourself. did i make more money working than i would've saved if i would've taken a day off (or even better, vacation time) and done it myself? that's why i always do my own car work. anyway, sounds good. what kind of clutch did you toss in there?

    yeah but if he's like me and my luck, it's never a one day job. You open it up and shit if it aint broken ten times worse than you thought, and half the parts have to be ordered and will take a day or two to arrive at the stealership, etc LOL.

    I do my own work simply because I cant afford to have someone do it, and I dont trust the cheap places, hell I really dont trust the high end shops either for that matter. I have too high of standards for my repair work I guess lol.

    turn the adjuster nut clockwise to move the clutch engage point higher off the floor, counter clockwise to move it lower to the floor. I like the clutch to start engaging really close to the floor.. it'll feel really loose when it's like that though cause there's a lot of slack in the line when it's like that

    Dude that's great! You must be happy.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM
