In your own sentence is one of the problems.
<I asked them to look at the clutch and anything else that may need replacing.>
This is an open ticket for some shops to sell you a job that you have already put away money for in your mind. I think the high price tag in this case made you stop and think twice?
It is countless of times I "could" have sold work on a customer car because they had already made up their minds that it might be needed because the car is old, brakes is one of those things that you can sell over and over again even when not needed because drivers are worried about not being able to stop the car.
I look over the car for them and inform them if it is actually needed or not.
The clutch system on 94-97 900 can be a little bit tricky to determine if it is bad or going bad, but the amount of pressure needed to press down the clutch pedal is one warning sign that it start to go bad.
But you need to know what a light pedal pressure or a high pedal pressure feels like before being able to tell the difference.
The clutch cable in itself can also break at any time without warning so that is something to keep in mind.
