clutch replacement?

How pricey is a clutch replacement on my 2003 mini? non-s.

Also how difficult is it to change?

$200 for parts, plus more if you need a new flywheel, and there are definitely more smaller parts like the throw-out bearing fork bushings, and some engine seals that should be done while you are in there.

It is not an easy job for a non-mechanic, but it can be done. ON-LINE INSTRUCTIONS CAN BE FOUND! Haynes and Bentley manuals have instructions.

If you post your location, I am sure someone can point you to a good place to have it done other than a MINI dealer.
