Default Installing TRD clutch

Anyone ever installed the TRD clutch themselves? Is it tough?

according to alldata 4.5hours....so shop labor rate X 4.5 hours = labor
most shops charge 80 an hour so $360 and you gotta resurface the flywheel $65
the trd clutch+disc i got it for $263 and the throwout bearing $35 at dealership
so total installed = $723

DO they add all the labor and stuff to the price when you buy the car, if you get it then?

alldata is not always used by everyone, some shops use MOTOR as their source for hourly rates.

To answer that question no. The flywheel will not have to be resurfaced unless you burned out your old clutch.
