With all the repairs that I've gone thru/am going thru with my clutch, I envy you in a way at this point! :p OEM clutch kit: $389.74 Pilot Bearing: $30.93 Centerforce Clutch Kit: $385.00 OEM Clutch Master Cylinder: $138.10 OEM Clutch Slave Cylinder: $103.75 SS Braided Clutch Line: $119.00 Rear Crankshaft Lip Seal: $15.65 Parts total: $1,182.17 (and this price still doesn't include labor!) P.J. Grady's online price for a rebuilt automatic: $2,495.00 installed to the differential. After calculating labor, both transmission types can end up costing you the same! I've come to one conclusion: When buying a DeLorean, choose either a manual or automatic transmission because you're more comfortable with one. Don't make your decision based upon repair costs. Either route, both can cost you the same amount! -Robert vin 6585
