Thats $1872.60 NZD (woe is our dollar at the moment).

Thats over 3 times the amount we pay in NZ for a complicated clutch replacement.
I suggest getting a workshop manual (go to your library) or a mate with some knowledge and give it a crack, even if you have to buy a complete set of tools (5/8ths socket set and a decent ring spanner set) it'll work out cheaper, and you'll keep the tools and experiance for life

But i have always been the one to jump in and find out by pulling things apart first and consider the consequences later.

yeah i know what you mean i do that with computers, but then again i don't put my life in the hands of a notebook,

i just wanted it done right, but i am going down there tomorrow to watch and see how its done, and maybe the next time it blows i'll take a crack at it..

on another note, the guy at the shop said the compression test went very very well, everything in, around, and on the engine is mint, and he's checking the traNNY tomorrow, sofar we have two thumbs up, ( the body-no rust at all, and compleatly straight, and the engine, so things are looking good except for the new tires i need and the clutch
