A clutch replacement is probably in the vicinity of $1,000 to $1,500.

Whether you can replace the clutch yourself depends on whether you know how to remove the transmission in a FWD vehicle, and have access to an engine hoist and vehicle lift.

Standard FWD celica or alltrac? Theyre fairly cramped under the bonnet so its known to be quit difficult to do an in-situ clutch change. TBH its likely the clutch was almost dead anyway - mine is 60K miles old and has put up with 5 or 6 5Krpm step-off-clutch launches at 12psi of boost without wheelspin and is still going.

You can pick up clutches for them on ebay, the exedy ones are fairly well rated and are somewhere around 250$ for you guys. Wouldnt take on a clutch unless youre fairly competent or the car is not needed for a while in case you have problems.
