Shop Space?

I was wondering if anyone knows of a shop that I could go to on the weekend to do my clutch?

Obviously, I'd be willing to fork out some cash for it.

Or if someone knows an affordable shop that can do a reliable job that we can trust with our cars, that would also be appreciated.

a clutch is a clutch man... any mechanic should be able to do it. Anyways by the book it is 4 hrs, I didnt have time when I upgraded my clutch and flywheel but my mechanic at shop did it for 200, and only took him 3 hours including counter weight, flywheel, clutch master and braided clutch line.... granted if you have an fc, your likely wanting to do it on the cheap... do it yourself if you think you can, its not hard, but sp much easier if you have a spare set of hands, transmissons are not all that light, and you will have to get the car up pretty tall. Id bet youd waste more time on the prep then actually changing the clutch.

change all your bearings while you are at it, (ps you should get the pilot bearing tool or you will be cursing, its about 100 bucks but will take you literally two second to take out compared to two hours.

Sorry, I know a clutch is a clutch. Unfortunately, I don't know of any shop that charges $50/hour for labour, although I did think it would be more than 4 hours. I might re-consider getting someone to do it now, but I have found a shop that charges $50 for the day at a shop.
