Range of low 1800.00 to high of 2500.00. Lot of work. I know, I did my own.

I just had mine done (labor only) $600

The guy was REALLY good and fast as well.

He's done a lot of vettes and has a few time saving tricks.

I watched the whole show, and he even let me rebuild my tranny at his shop.

Sorry, i'm in the southeast, but WOW some guys are good.

Hi,

I just got a 00 coupe, it has 55k on it, and the clutch seems to
be picking up a bit high, and sometimes when I shift from 1 to 2nd i feel it doesn't feel as smooth, so I guess I should be looking for one in the market as-well :/

Any good place I could trust around boston area you guru's might know?

That is in line with that I get as well.

$1800 to $2500 is wayyy to much. I just price for half of what the dealer does.

In general it is as follows:
$600 labor
$125 new slave
+ clutch
~$450 C6Z clutch and flywheel (would have to check current price)
$995 for Text single.
$1279 dual

I am in Knoxville, but let me know if you are interested.

Also .. give RPM a call. He would probably do it as well. Not sure what he charges, etc.

I had some work done at StraightLine in New Lenox and they did a good job! If you call them, ask for Mini Mike.

There is also Power House Performance in Orland Park. I believe the Person to talk to is John.

Good Luck!

Thanks for Steve@EnglandGreen reply for a good place advice in MA, I put that on my list... But is there any body else in MA, especially close to Boston that you guys know off that can do a reliable job

[ChargedZ]

Both Powerhouse and Straightline Performance are great places. I would recommend going to Straightline. They had my car for about 3 months and are finally at the dyno stages and they did awesome work at a great price. I'm about to put a textralia clutch in my car and they said labor is around $450. Call and ask for Mikey (little mike). He will definetly take care of you.

Went to Straightline. They did the clutch........Excellent shop to deal with. They did a fantastic job and the price was right.

[Cajundude@EnglandGreen]

I need to raise my rates, I charge $450.

[PRAY]

Seriously. I only charge $500.

[Zozzie]

Anyone have an idea what the official GM flat rate time is for that job and for the experts who have done a few, how long does it really take?

[Mike Francoeur]

I can usually get them done in 5 hours - add $$$ for Longtubes because they have to be removed. We charge $450 without longtubes.
