You can get them aftermarket pretty cheap. Like NAPA. I think I bought mine from a place called Bap Geon, paid 80 bucks. Granted that's wholesale price too.

Napa offers a reman set for $112.00 exchange and a new set for $159.00. reman #, line code is ncl, part # 6547573. NEw one from beck arnley is 0619178. Prices are for online, local napa maybe more or match online. Also if you have AAA card, (towing), all napas offer
a discount, if you don"t have one, find someone that has. When you call tell them you have a AAA card and they will quote you the correct price. Hope this helps. rx7doctor

I dont' think NAPA does installs! At least the napas near here don't have garages attached to them!

Anyhoo.. I called to check clutch prices today out of curiosity, and to get the clutch plate, clutch disc and release bearing as a kit at a local parts place is $260CDN which is about 195USD just for the parts. That's just a basic brand-new OEM replacement set.

Good job on the installation. I'm getting mine installed by my mechanic, and even though he charges me next-to-nothing labour it's still gonna cost two hundred to do it. Which is a hell of a lot better than the five hundred smackers the local japanese specialist wanted!

On the clutch install. Pm me and I will give you tips on how to get the job done the fastest way. My record for pulling down the trans, removing the clutch and flywheel is 45 minutes.
However i have done alot of them. rx7doctor
