You only need a couple tools and the clutch kit is about $200. If you opt to have it done, repair should not exceed $400. The dealer in town charges $360 for a clutch job, but they may not be the norm. If you have it done, be sure to have them replace the rear seal and the slave cylinder at the same time. They are *supposed* to, but not all places will. It might cost an extra $50 or $60 (but shouldn't) and it's well worth it. -Justin
