clutch began slippping, best place to buy a new one Options

[Cormudgen]

Well my clutch has finaly started to slip a little bit. I guess i'm not too surprised since it has 154,000 on the clock and it is really the first car I leanred to drive a manual on.

I've called around on quotes to get replaced and this is what I have got:

Toyota dealership: $622

Local auto shop: $475-500
or just $300 for the labor.

Anyone know the cheapest place for me to find a replacement clutch? I'm don't need a racing clutch as I am not making enough power and honestly don't feel like I ever will be. Just need a cheap, quality replacement clutch. I have a ST by the way.

Thanks
Mark

can you get blueprint parts over there - essentially made to the standards of the totyta stock. If the dealers can;t get one from toyota uk stock when required for a customer - they get a blue print one - essentially they're the same item !
