Agreed; fluid is bad for the friction disk, and it'll be in his hand anyway. Parts are cheaper than labor. > He is taking "clutch kit". Appropriate. It's got the slave, the pressure plate, and the friction disk, and costs about as much as any two of those 3 parts. Saves you a bit that way. > With the disc and plate $US900, without disc and plate $US700. That seems high, but I never had/did a 9000, just a 900. Very similar parts though, I thought. I don't recall it being that high. > Could those who would understand this repair please post their > opinions/recommendations? Sounds like much of that total is labor. So, if that's the case, the 200 bucks for the extra parts that you probably are close to needing anyway, is probably well spent. Otherwise, you're doing 1/3 of the job, for 7/9ths of the cost.
