help with a clutch!
Discussion
Sounds early for a clutch. perhaps the previous owner rode on it.
I would suggest getting several quotes depending on the area in which you live. There are plenty of independent dealers too, who may be cheaper. Since it isn't a regular service, it would not compromise the service history by taking it elsewhere; just make sure that they are well recommended.

Clutches don't last forever and 28k miles is not bad. If it makes you feel better, the 520 is on its 3rd clutch since March!
The labour charge is about right and the clutch price depends on what they include. It is worth replacing thrust bearings, both cover and drive plates and even the release arm. Bang goes 400 pnds quite easily. If you don't then you can almost guarentee that somewhere down the line that one of the components that wasn't renewed will fail and that is another 400 pnds labour to pay for.
