The shop wanted to get the parts from their supplier so they could make $$ on the markup. My job cost about $2500, but included new clutch, new water pump, new power steering sensor, a new coolant pipe, and some other odds and ends. 30K miles later, I'm happy I paid the price and got all the other incidentals replaced as well. You won't be happy if you have to pay someone to go in there later and replace a clutch, for example. The van had 91K on it at the time. Tom '71 Westy, '85 Westy, '91 Carat, '81 VW Diesel Pickup
