How much would I be looking at to get my clutch plates replaced?

I have a 5 spd 1990 ford ranger and my clutch is wearing out on me, because I let to many newbies learn to drive a stick in it. how much will it cost to get it fixed? How much would I be looking at to get my clutch plates replaced?it is always a good idea to replace the pressure plate and throwout bearing when replacing the clutch in any vehicle due to the wear the clutch has placed on the pressure plate and the wear on the throwout bearing from all the shifting which has been done up until the failure of the clutch. i just completed a 1990 ranger clutch job and it cost $350.00 without my labor for the kit to replace all the parts i just spoke of.it was also an upgrade to a tougher racing application which will last longer and be stronger. How much would I be looking at to get my clutch plates replaced? A new clutch for a ford ranger should run about $ 300.00 bucks +-

How much would I be looking at to get my clutch plates replaced?Realistically, thats an easy clutch to do, but look up the shop hours in the standard book the mechanics use to estimate jobs. Probably a four hour job times his hourly rate, plus parts. You are looking at 4-5 hundred.
