Those are super-high, dealer service dept. prices. If you take a Ford into the dealer and just hand them your credit card, you'll get violated as well.
I owned a 996 and it's more like $1200 for a clutch, (including labor at a good independent Porsche shop), $600 if I do it myself. $1200.00 is generous, Tyson Schmidt once did a clutch on a 996 in under an hour start to finish. They are way easier to work on than an air-cooled 911. (Which is already an easy car to work on).
