PassionFord Post Whore!!
it depends if thats the clutch only, i had a new clutch on my TDCI mondeo, from ford with discount i got the 3 piece clutch and my Duel Mass Flywheel done at the same time (common sence really) so come to nearly £400 for parts, i think (had a few beers now) plus fitting by an independant garage put me on the £800 mark inc rear crank seal.
So, if you can get it done by an independant garage i would plus have the DMW done at the same time if you can/ needs doing, about 10mm rotational movement is about the worst it should really be before being replaced.

TTV fly wheels should not give chatter as they are sold steel items and only half weight, that worries me as i have one being made for me at the moment that will accept a 240mm clutch. The fly is going to be less than £200 when done 
My local ford wanted £1200 for the lot fitted

Right i just got clutch done on my FRS and it was cheaper than that. I'd like to think that the clutch kit is cheaper for starters? FRS was £330. Then theres the slave unit £125. Fitting was a homer at £20/hr. He did other jobs too so i'd say £200 tops labour.
I didnt need my flywheel done so surely an ST wouldnt either?

the ST has a dual mass fly with rubber bushing, it is in 2 halves with the bushing between, they wear out and need changing so a new fly wheel is installed when the new clutch goes in 
If you dont change the fly it could eventually let go and exit the gearbox like a buzz saw
