Sti 3 Clutch

Sti 3 Clutch
My clutch was slipping in 5th when I bought the car, after a week of fun it's now slipping in 4th and 5th, so Im guessing it won't be long before the other 3 gears start slipping.
So...
How much am I looking at to replace the clutch, parts and average labour costs, inc VAT ?
Also what spec am I looking for, the car is std, apart from filter and zaust.
Cheers in advance

I have the same base spec car.
Change that clutch before the flywheel is done for...
I now have an AP Organic clutch with 407 x 350 engine, raced regularly, and road driven too. Clutch is realy nice and very OE in feel.
If you are staying stock on the engine, the Sti clutch is rather good too!
Be warned, a bitch of a job.
Clutch = £350 ish
Labour about £200/300 if they have to fight the box coming off.

By lightening the flywheel you reduce the weight of the rotating parts of the engine - by 5Kg in our case. When it weighs less, it takes less effort to move it, so the engine spins free-er. It helps the spool up of the turbo and thus you get punch from lower down the rev band.
Good cheap mod that actually shows a benefit. ALSO, it is likely that your flywheel has cracks in it [ from the slipping and general wear ] and you will have to do something about it anyway. Makes sense to improve it at no extra cost - in real terms.
