So anyone know where I can get this done in Upstate NY? Near Albany. I am trying to keep it under $2500 if possible. Thanks!

 

That should more than cover the parts, some new high-lift jackstands, and any additional tools you might need...

 

I just did this.

I did LN Engineering IMS bearing, clutch, fallout bearing, preassure plate and slave sylinder. On older cars it was suggested also to change the clutch fork. Uncertain if that is still a part to replace now.

 

If I was near Albany or the Hudson I'd either look closer to the city for a shop or you will need to find an indy mechanic of good ability. This is just my opinion but I wouldn't bother with the dealer in CNY.

 

I think you are looking at a bit more, around $3000 or even higher. You are over $2000 in parts, especially if the Indy buys them.

I've read a couple threads where people had it done for less. I would buy the parts myself to save a bit, but dont shops usually charge a fee for using your own parts?

 

I'd call R & D in Albany. No idea what they would charge, but they'll do a good job.

That's what I was thinking. I am gonna make some calls tomorrow and see what I come up with. My Pelican Parts shopping cart has a spec clutch, aos, and LN IMS and its onlt 1,200. I would imagine it should be around 10-15 hours labor so hopefully it wont be too bad. Fingers crossed!

 

For your LN, I'd say get the pro kit ($799) if it's applicable... And budget for a brake/clutch fluid change if it's been a while and you will probably have to do at least one motor oil/filter change.

 

IIRC that dual row bearing takes a special installer, so budget for that as well if you go that route.

Well I was going try to find an indy that does these often, so they'd probably have the installer I'd imagine.

 

Maybe consider adding the DOF also?

Do you have a tip or manual? Take into account that Tip generally cost more as it's a bit more labor intensive.

 

Its a manual, I am considering the DOF actually. We shall see. Still getting quotes.

 

I'd ask if it's cool to bring your own parts before springing that on a shop. Walking in the door with your own box of stuff is not quite as blunt as just saying, "I think you're a crook and you're trying to rip me off," but it doesn't seem far off...
