I got a quote for a clutch job on my 91 PU with the 3.0 for $650, which includes changine the main seal on the motor at the same time. Do you guys think that's fair? Also the motor has 110k on it, does it really need a new main seal? Is it a good idea to do that while doing th clutch?

Thanks

 

Changing the main seal would probably be good just to get out of the way.

 

$650 Is really high.

 

What's reasonable then? There is another guy I got quoted from that said $400, but that didn't include the main seal. Also the $650 one was "worst case" according to them and also included resurfacing the flywheel if they thought it needed it.

 

Anyone else think that's a little high?

 

That's high, the main seal does not add very much time to the jod and is only a ~$20 part. Call some clutch specialty shops as well as independent mechanics for quotes. Places like Clutch Doctors quoted me ~$400 IIRC, for clutch job (parts and labor).
