They are very good about charging less if it takes less time and there is some cross part removal so fingers crossed it will be closer to $1000.
You should be alright bro. Mine was just an isolated incident. I think the disk was defective from the factory. And 1,400 really isn't all that bad for the clutch and header install. Sounds about right. I've done both and they are very time consuming.

If you were closer, I would offer it to you to use free or buy cheap. But shipping would probably be way more than I would ask in cash.
I bought the same jack. Since I knew I was only going to need it one time, I sold it to a coworker for half off.
