clutch cylinder problems

Hey,
I just bring my car to the dealer to diagnosis the car..
well after a while they called me back and told me that i need to replace the clutch cylinder that's been worn out.
and they said it would be $360 + tax for them to replace the clutch.

what do you all guys think about that price? should I do it at the dealer or somewhere else for a cheaper price but I don't know about the quality.

will there be any major problems if i don't do it?

any help would be great guys, cause i need to call the dealer

Exqueeze me??? A clutch cylinder usually lasts 10 years or more.

that is why I want to know what the car went in for. It seems alot of people lately have brought there cars to honda for one problem, honda finds something totally different, fix or replace it, and the person gets there car back with new parts, "the original problem still there", and a fat bill.

Clutch cylinder??? Slave, Master???? or are they replacing the clutch itself??? You need to make it more clear. If it is the slave (which is what it sounds like) it is 130 from honda and it is a bolt on. All that you have to do is bleed the lines I would DIY and save yourself some $

That sounds strange that your master would go bad and you would not get fluid inside the car. Masters generally don't go bad. It is only the two bolts around the clutch pedal and the fluid line bolt, and then bleed the line. The damn thing is just so hard to get to.
