Agreed, and not jut DYI, DYI with an engine hoist.. A lot of work requires the service position which is no joke. I really enjoyed the ones I owned, plural, but you have to be a serious masochist to have one outside of warranty. I still cannot believe the quote for a clutch job a few months back...
All local independants: "oh no we no longer do mini clutches, it gets expensive and our customers get pissed off"
Dealer: $4000 conservatively, likely a little more (on a car worth $5K)
