Clutch showing its age

[Bryan]

Yup, my 91 SHO's clutch is slowly slipping away (excuse the pun). I was looking at a clutch ShoSource had for sale on their site http://www.shosource.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=61_5_24&products_id=56. Also, how much am I looking at for an install job? I just wanted to get some idea before I walked into the garage.

Update: Car has to go into the garage next week. 2nd, 3rd and 4th are about gone. Had a lot of trouble getting it home this morning. So what am I looking at cost wise? Ball park is basically what I am expecting.

P.M. me. I can take care of you for a lot less than the steelership.

Not to bad. I saw that a stock clutch kit runs for about $280, its the labor that I am wondering about.

My local shop, who has done more thana few clutch jobs for me, gets $550.

The Perfection brand clutch I installed in my SHO can be found on eBay for ~$150. This is the brand Advance and Napa sells. My friend who works at Napa (for 20 years) said they are very decent quality. This is a 100% new clutch, everything. I am a very picky person and this clutch has been flawless.

However, if I would have planned ahead better a LUK brand clutch would be in my car. Dollar for dollar I no doubt see them as 'the best'. RCM has them for ~$260.
