I took everyone's advice and purchased the RJM Performance AFP adjustable clutch pedal. I've never seen such unanimous and unwavering praise for a product. Also, the customer service is top-notch.

Anyway, I would like to have this installed by a mechanic. I have gotten a few quotes from two prominent Z tuning shops in SoCal for 2.5 to 3.5 hours of labor. Each shop told me that they have done one or two of these installs before, but not in the last few years.

In his step-by-step instructions, Ryan (RJM himself) lists a labor estimate of 1.5 hours (including fine-tuning the clutch after the install is done) for this job, and he specifically wrote me an email detailing how he does these himself in 45 minutes and doesn't understand why it would take a professional mechanic more than 2 hours. Now I understand there is a learning curve involved, but is 2.5 to 3.5 hours of labor reasonable?

So does anybody have any recommendations for a good shop or even an individual in or near L.A. that has experience installing this part and does quality work?

I appreciate any advice you can offer.

Thanks, everyone.
