Hi

For the correct AP Borg & Beck complete clutch fitted you should be paying around 500 - 600 quid.

For the parts, my clutch kit (AP make) was approx £220 inc VAT and delivery, from V8developments. It took me a weekend to fit myself...... although this included re-painting some parts of the chassis in the transmission tunnel.

Hi

Wow 220 was cheap - must have been a special offer - did that include a complete clutch plus bearing, etc? Around 300 for the complete clutch seems the norm. There are cheaper clutches but they're not up to the job of handling the TVR's torque/power so don't last very long.

As regards the number of hours labour it's a labour-intensive job so allow for around six to eight hours total - maybe you should ask an Indy Garage.

Got mine replaced recently on a 5.0 96 Chim. Breakdown of costs was as follows:-

Labour £235 (no breakdown of time)

Clutch cover plate £134
Friction Plate £124
Release bearing £26
Release sleeve £15
Release arm £43
Clutch fluid £5
Carriage for parts £25

Total parts £371'ish

Total = £606 and VAT = £712

I got similar quotes from other independents. The ones I used source their parts from a TVR dealer so there is probably a bit of a mark-up on parts costs anyway.

Hope that is some help. So much better with the new clutch, last one completely destroyed!
