A little over two years ago I bought a used 97 Legacy wagon with about 60k miles on it. About a year and 15k miles later the clutch went out. I didn't think that much of it since the car now how 75k on it and it seemed like a clutch might go out around then and i didn't know how the previous owner drove it. I took it to a dealer thinking since it was it's first real trip to a mechanic since I'd bought it I'd do it right. $1000 later it was fixed. Now here I am one year later and about another 13k miles since the last clutch job and it seems like the clutch is going out again. Does this seem reasonalbe? I've driven manuels all my life and had never had a clutch go out before. Now two in a year? If i take it to a non dealer how much should i expect to pay for a clutch job?
