Hi all --
I have a 99 Forester (L) that is in bad shape at the moment. The clutch stopped working on Thursday -- the clutch pedal essentially stuck to the floor and would not return to it's regular position. On Fri morning I found that I could not even put the car in gear & had to have it towed in to the dealership. After inspection, the mechanic told me that everything had to be replaced, incl. pressure plate, clutch, etc. The guy quoted me $1600 for parts and replacement. He mentioned other parts besides the clutch, but I was still in shock about the price... he said something about the plate falling off and burning up the clutch. I don't know much about cars, and being female, I'm always concerned that I'm going to get taken for a ride. Does that $$ amount sound right, or should I be concerned about him charging too much?
Thanks!
Holly
