I can find a clutch cheaper than that so hopefully I can use my own parts.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
24 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

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?
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.

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...
I havent asked any of them that yet. Just getting regular quotes for now. It looks like it'll be between 2500-3000 so far. I also have a friend who is a Porsche tech I can bug!
I recently had new clutch, IMS (LN), AOS, Water Pump, brake flush and a few other odds/end done. I'm on the road, but can check my bill and let you know what was charged for each/hours. My Indy is fine with me bringing my own parts (but he does cut back my discount for paying cash). On this job, I brought some of the parts in and he sourced others. My "clutch" job was more complicated as my fork was broken, which led to other issues. I was in the ballpark on hours/parts cost as what has been posted, so it probably comes down to your Indy's rate. Happy to get the specifics if it would help. I'm in Chicago.
I was able to find it-

I've used this mechanic exclusively for everything that I could not do myself (or had time to do myself). They run a good shop, sponsor local PCA and in general I think they are honest and fair. Hope this helps-

I just got off the phone with Auto Haus up in Burnt Hills. They said it's be about $1100 in labor and I can source my own parts if I want with no extra charge.
I spoke to R&D yesterday and they were closer to $3000 all in.
