Why not take it to a shop that KNOWS dsm's .... *cough* RG * cough*


you should be about $850 area.  itll depend on what clutch, with fluids and flywheel resurfacing. its approx 5ish-hrs

full brakes sound about right. its 3-4hrs labour alone.

fwd non turbo... 1000$ clutch job ? lol ya right. take it elsewhere thats to much. its a 5 hour job...  @ 100$ an hour say... 500$ labor... so they are charging you 500$ in parts? a clutch for that thing is way cheaper then that.

Hey ken, if your still looking to do the job, like stated before i do mobile mechanical for competitive rates.  I also specialize in DSM's and general automotive.  remember the n/a 95 dsm is chrysler powered...  so the clutch job isn't like a 4g63 based dsm, its a bit different setup then the mitsu stuff.

PM me if your looking for a quote.
