Clutch Replacement on manual yaris

My clutch started slipping, just wondering if its a job that's doable by a normal person like me not a mechanic. Any threads that show how to do it? If not how much is an average price for labor alone because I'm going to buy a clutch online from rockauto.com. I looked up prices and it's like $600-900 for labor. Damb that's expensive.

I swapped my gearbox this year, and it was no joke. I had access to a lift, engine hoist, floor jacks, engine brace and lots of fancy hand tools. It still took two whole days to get it done. I've read a few different guides on here and microimage, so there is lots of experienced documentation available. If/when I do it again, I'm going to pull the whole subframe and work on it outside the engine bay.

yea, it is not an easy thing to do, however, 600-900$ seems to be a high price range for it, I got mine done for about 400$ in a very responsible garage including parts (exedy parts) and laborship. I am not in the US tho but here that price range is what the dealer charges for that. I'd keep looking for better price tho, you should be able to find something less expensive.

I have 105K on my Yaris. Yea definitely going to have a pro do it for me I don't have that kind of time. Also looking to install the wet nitrous kit that will add 50hp in the near future will the stock clutch handle that kind of power or will i need to upgrade? This is what I was going to buy , but if there is a better alternative let me know please thanx.
