Maybe from the dealer...

8.1hrs labor book time

$430.99 for OEM clutch kit

You do not need to replace the flywheel when doing the clutch. It can be resurfaced and around here its $40.

If I was to quote this it would be: $875.99 + Tax.

Its beyond the point. Telling someone not to get a car because the clutch job sucks its like telling someone not to get anything but an electric car cause gas is getting expensive. Let it go!

Um no, that was not a dealer price. In fact, it was done at Proven Force. I'd like to see if you can find someone to resurface a dual mass flywheel. My point is: have fun spending money and doing a clutch job on a Mazdaspeed6 because I'm glad I got to do the clutch job and see the destruction that the customer did. I know for a fact that I'll never own one.

Speed6's are nice, kind of a grown up Evo. If you can't afford a clutch job, you probably shouldn't be buying one, but with that said, it's a once in a lifetime job if you're not driving like a 15-year old.
