What is the normal time it takes you guys to do this. Just trying to get a rough guesstimate.

I had a shop do mine - although I really didn't have a choice since it went when I was out of town and there was only one place anywhere around that could do it on a Sunday to get me home. Think it cost me about $600. But have no idea what a reasonable cost would be.

In any event, I was lucky there was a guy who used to work at Nissan and had a lot of experience with them. He even said they are a biatch if you haven't done one before - so I think I made the right decision - LOL.

And I changed my clutch so I'm no scardey-cat . . .

It more depends on if you have done it before. 1st time = long time 2nd time = cut 1st time by 1/3 or 1/2.

So you should qualify your question to 1st timers. Makes more sense I think
