Even if the clutch plate isn't contaminated with fluid, and only half worn, I'd still replace it. The additional cost is tiny compared to the labour cost. > He is taking "clutch kit".

I know for a fact that parts prices over the pond are generally lower. Sounds very expensive to me. Also, the clutch is a 5-6 hour book job. How much is your mechanic charging per hour? -- Grunff
