How much should a clutch job cost on a 540?

Hey, I remember this thread. Hadn't pieced together that it was you who recently posted about the flywheel.

Thanks for the follow up,

Just to follow up for anyone who may find this thread in the future.

Cluch job cost me roughly $1200, but I ruined my flywheel by driving it with a slipping clutch for a week or two. The guy at the shop told me that if I had brought in as soon as it started to slip, I may have saved the flywheel. As it was, a new flywheel cost me $725(with a $125 discount), and that bumped the total bill to over $1900.

So please, for your wallet's sake, don't wait on the clutch when you notice it start to slip.

So I am assuming that the flywheel can not be resurfaced on a M60? Can anyone confirm this?

I did some searching on the forum and the official answer is- no. I believe some people have found ways to rough up the surface some, but I don't know what the outcome was.

My flywheel was in pretty bad shape though-- things might be different if I had gotten it to the shop right away. Maybe then, there might have been something they could have done to freshen up the surface.
