Ended up negotiating them down to $550 for the part and labor. My warranty is expired, but since it is only 3 months past and only 21000 miles, they cut a deal.
Now that it is replaced, the clutch feels better than it ever did even when the car was new. Clutch pressure always felt like a bit too much before and engage points were weird, now it's a bit lighter and shifts from 1st to 2nd are now spot on - no more jerky, shifts... always smooth now unless the operator (me) screws up. It's actually even more fun to drive now.
