The cost is a clutch job.  I say this because any time you have the engine
and tranny split it pays to take care of everything in there: replace the
clutch disk, pilot bearing, and throw-out bearing, resurface the flywheel,
and replace the rear crank seal.  Most of this job is labor.

I think so, yes.
