Do you know any indie shop in the greater Boston area? All the dealers I called in the area are quoting me $1600 for a clutch replacement... without the parts. That sounds like a rip off

Thanks - spoke to the guy, he sounds like he knows what's talking about. They changed the whole thing on a 911 TT yesterday and spent only $1k in labor
Damn

you can also check with Bill Pfister at Eurotech in Framingham if you want an additional quote - only works on Porsches as well as EPE.

Jerry Pelligrino is the owner of the business. He is a genius with a wrench and a stand up guy. I highly recommend him. I have done business with him since 1992.
