Default Mechanic Shops Clutch/Flywheel

Well I posted that thread last week about my car acting up and it is most definitely my clutch. I'm buying the JWT heavy clutch and flywheel and I'm needing a good mechanic shop. I know there's Jotech and I just spoke with them, they told me installing the clutch, flywheel, and replacing tranny fluid, I'm looking at around 700 dollars.

If I can find cheaper that would be great. I know I can really trust there job but if I can find a great shop that also knows what there doing but not 700 dollars that would be great. Thanks in advance for the help.

Stewart

sure - clutch pedal is alot stiffer but the "sweet spot" is perfect now (where it used to be up high - real high). getting the fly is a good idea since you have everything already taken apart. Its hard to get used to the clutch pedal feel but you certainly get used to it. There is very slight chatter from the fly but you dont notice it and its not as obvious as others have mentioned in other threads..honestly anything lighter will cuase chatter.. Im patient and I havent gone past 3k RPMS with the new setup until I get passed the 500 mile mark. Other than that - your going to have fun..
