My brake pads (900 S, 1995) were replaced for the first time at 120,000 miles. Make sure when they fix your clutch that they change the whole lot, ie complete clutch group. Here in Holland you buy the complete group for about $140. I have never replaced a clutch on a 900NG but on many other cars. Labour would take about 4 hrs. Basically I agree with your estimate of $500 this is at a local garage of course the dealer would like to make a nice profit "scott ocamb" <socambnopsamail.com> wrote in message news:MbHP9.943$zi2.744646nopsamhog.newsread.com... > hello, > > I will soon need to have the clutch on my car replaced.
