It will depend what power you want to produce.
We charge a fixed £150 for swapping clutch and/or flywheel.
A clutch capable of 400 bhp may cost £320.
A clutch capable of 320 bhp may cost as little as £155 and certainly not more than £220.
Unless there are high spots on your flywheel or you are suffering judder there is no need to replace your flywheel but even with a replacement flywheel and £320 clutch you should not be looking at more than £610.
That is what we would charge here in Darlington but there may be a saving if you don't need a flywheel with a further saving if you are operating around 320 bhp.

We have a wide range of clutches in stock for next day delivery and you can have it fitted locally at your convenience

Clutches are rated by torque and not bhp

You and I know that Bob but lots of people don't know their torque, hence the reference to BHP.
I also happen to have a good idea of a 2 litre Subarus probable torque figure from the BHP figure on the basis that :
BHP= torque x RPM/5252.

If it will make you happy Bob I can also make reference to torque in future.
