CA Bay Area Peeps, need help! Second Opnion

Hi guys & gals,

I live in the east bay area and just stopped by PR Motorsports in Hayward for those that know where that is. They quoted me for the following problems:

1.) OMP (Oil Metering Pump) has small amount of leakage
Price to fix: ~$1500

2.) Transmission Bearing is making some noise
Price to fix: ~$1800 + More if I want clutch replaced, which I do

I started a thread in "trouble shooting" and people have been saying the price is high. The shop seems to be very reputable but those prices are beyond what a student can pay easily. So I wanted to see if any Bay Area peeps can offer some suggestions.

My other thread is here: https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/omp-leaking-transmission-bearing-190798/

P.S. I had a very positive experience with them and don't think they are out to screw me. But having options is good!

Much Thanks,

-Chris

for everything else. Bring it to your local mechanic shop

Thanks for the heads-up. They look like a good shop to look into. Might take advantage of their $29.99 oil change special in addition to getting a quote.
