average cost of changing the clutch

hello,
its time for me to change my clutch.
and i am planning to change to exedy stage 1.
i asked this transmission shop near my house and
they estimated me $500 CAD.
he said about $400 CAD + some extra if they have to machine my flywheel.
is this normal??
how much does is usually cost??

Dunno about you guys.

in NYC, it cost about 350 USD to change your clutch.

Get a new Flywheel with replaceable surface, New Pilot bearing, and Rear Tranny seal.

Tranny is coming down anyway, might as well, they shouldn't charge you any extra for them.

Around 200€ is the average cost here for a clutch and flywheel swap.
What brings the cost up is the cost of the transmission fluids that you have to replace, the work per se takes less than 3hrs.

I've seen prices from 400 to 800 bucks depending upon where you live and who you go to.
