He said that he put a clutch in it for $14k. He said just the parts for the clutch were $9k and the labor was 60 hours. There were some other not so surprising things included for this $14k. What do you guys think about this pricing? How often is this level of maintenance required on these cars? Thanks in advance for your thoughts. Rob
