From what I vaguely remember about the clutch componets and prices they gave I'd say do this.
Don't pay for anything more yet. Goto eeuroparts.com and find the following parts and print them out to have the totals with you when you go in. Find the viggen clutch kit (pressure plate and disc), slave cylinder, and water pump.
Verify buying all those parts on your own is cheaper then what they said. Go in with all that and tell them you will purchase those parts yourself, have them put in by them at no additional cost, and not worry about a warranty from them on those parts.
If they say no I'm sorry but walk away. With everything out of the car already they shouldn't be charging you that much to change those parts. It sounded like they quoted you from a labor book which would have shop time at cost and then added the price of parts.
It they are willing to do that I would bet it drops you below the 4000 mark. Just make sure you put an identifiable mark on the pump and pressure plate so that you could verify they actually put those parts on instead of keeping them and putting on some other cheap make parts.
I really have the gut feeling you should just take it to the Indy that posted in your other thread and to whom others suggested.
