Mazda says (in the books) that it takes 6 hours. My mechanic took slightly less, and he replaced the clutch line too. Figure roughly 5-6 hours x your local labor rate.

I ordered my parts from mazdatrix (lightened flywheel & OEm clutch) and had a local SF Shop(AllSpeed Motors) install it for $360.00

i have had that thing out more times than i can count. when you know exactly what to do, it can knock some time off the job. and i have always used a lift. i dont think i could do it on the ground. props to those who have though.
