Any NEON owners out there?

I looked at a 98 Sport this afternoon. 174k kilometers on it. Needs one rear strut mount ($70), a windshield ($150installed), and definitely needs a clutch. I can get it for $500, but how much is a new clutch gonna run me, installed? It wasn't plated, so I could only take it up the street and back really, but the clutch doesn't engage until almost the top pedal travel. Purrs like a kitten otherwise, but the clutch replacement is scaring me off.

You can have the trans out and on the ground in 2hrs if you are going slow. Its really not that big of a deal. I would recommend a quality stock replacement modular clutch and put your saved money in other maintenance parts. Modular clutches bolt onto a flexplate and include the flywheel in one unit. LuK from rock auto is $150. Be sure to do the rear main seal while your there for $6 amd the trans output seals for a couple bucks each.

REAR strut mount shouldn't be $70. I bought Moogs for the SRT for $23 each from Rockauto.
