I need a new clutch in my 8 already and the dealer wants like $1100 for it.
Is this a normal price? If not then does anyone know where i can get a new clutch installed near the Athens Georgia area cheaper with reliable service?

There are better stonger aftermarket clutches out there for that type of money , shop around .

cheers

I was planning on taking my car on spring break also. Now i am pretty much screwed because i don't know which clutch to get or who will install it. My spreing break is Feb. 12th and D@#$ it i wanted to take it to the beach! If anyone has any advice for me please! i am desperate. (PS my family is getting screwed on cars right now. check this (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=54153) crap out.... my clutch goes out and this happens....)

Check out http://www.hi-impact.org/ryang/modify/rx8_clutch/rx8_clutch.html for a list of various clutch parts and how much I paid for them. Figure labor is 6 hours times whatever your local hourly rate. Flywheel and counterweight are only if you are going aftermarket. I bought an ACT lightweight flywheel for $250.

If you didn't glaze the flywheel you might get away with only a new friction disk.

I used to live in Athens. Try Tommy Dillard at Five Points Automotive. I used to hang out at his shop a lot as a kid. He's the only person that I trust with my Mom's car. He's at the corner of South Milledge and the Macon Highway. He won't do you wrong. Tell him Tim Edwards sent you.

Great. Thanks.
