There is a transmission shop that Fire451 had do a re and re with rebuild on his, its roughly 112th ave and King George, I think it was $1300-$1600 to do it. That was doing a rebuild on his 4spd, plus installing a stock clutch. If you want a higher end clutch add about $500 to that total. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

actually it was not a stock clutch, it is a sax clutch which actually grabs better then a centerforce dual friction and the shops name is Berts the price if I remember was 1200 after tax, havn't had a problem with the trans since there info is: 13391 King George Highway, Surrey - |

$1200 (after tax) for a re & re which included an aftermarket clutch and rebuilding the tranny? That sounds pretty fair!
