Yeah, stop letting yourself get bummed and shop around, like others have said.
EDIT: apologies, I couldn't see your avatar and didn't realise you were a lady! What I meant to say was don't let them walk all over you - £500 is waaaaaay too much. I got my clutch replaced for £238 at Mr Clutch about 4 years ago.

They might think they can get away with it you being female(no offence).
Tell them were too go, and find someone else.

Jesus christ, you can get a race clutch for less than £500, £150-£250 at the most it should cost.

£500. Thats CSG for you. Loads of places that will do it cheaper.
Get down to General Traffic and buy the clutch yourself, that will reduce the cost a hell of a lot as you won't be paying RRP for it.
