Answer
Actually, the performance clutch isn't going to last as long as your typical organic clutch. It'll just allow you to rev higher before taking off and will hold more torque and be harder to depress than your stock clutch. Is your Legend the 5 cylinder? If you shop around, maybe at a good speed/performance shop you might be able to get your work done for around $500 or so. Check around the internet for deals on the clutch, an Exedy (Daikin Clutch) Stage 1 is a good clutch because it is almost identical to stock with a slightly higher holding capacity. Either that or a Daikin OEM clutch. As far as what transmission you have, it shouldn't make a difference to the price of the labor.
No it is not a 5 cyclinder. Its the V6. 500.00 is a substantially lower number than I am getting quoted. Closer to 1200-1700. Am I missing something????
Are you shopping to have someone do it for you or to do it yourself? That is a big deal and your numbers probably don't match because I think you are looking at it differently.
The master shouldn't be that bad either to replace.
I have shopped and bought clutches on ebay and saved big dollars. BUT, I do the work myself.
is that labor and parts together or just labor? the clutch should run you somewhere between 100-300 (depending on which model you go with) and then shopping around for labor is where you really save money. The labor shouldn't take longer than about 4 hours, and the rate varies from shop to shop about $50/hr to $90/hr. I generally do Acura/Honda tranny swaps for about $300. You might also consider having the flywheel resurfaced (about $50 once its off) depending on mileage/condition. So I think that $500 is a fair price to spend, but not 12-1700. Hope that comes as some help for you.
