clutch gone at 35k, dealer want $3000
I have an 03 turbo that I've use as a daily driver. I have 35k miles on it and the clutch has gone out. I have not abused this car (I didn't replace the rear tires until 27k miles). The dealer says this is a wearable item and will cost $3000 to replace. This doesn't seem right as the clutch has not been abused and should be good for alot more miles. Help, anybody with any antecdotal advice.
thanks

35K for a clutch is about right. upgrade it while u can.

I have 28k on my 01, with no problems, but have ordered a Sachs Stage II from Stephen at Imagine Auto, since I am going to hybrid ZC k/16/24's. My tranny and engine are already out (long story), so labor is essentially free.
I would recommend to upgrade to a more robust clutch and only pay the labor at the dealer or where ever you take your car....you do not want to go stock and have to replace it in another 30-35k miles since it is your DD.
