clutch TBO was halved

After quite some telephoning I dug out the following:
The clutch is 400 h past life limit, because the TBO was reduced from 2400 to 1200 sometime in between.
(propbably after the crash of a news helo into the Hudson with one fatality, where the clutch was found to have been the culprit).

Hence it outght be replaced, so the heli currently is not airworthy.

Can anyone quote an estimate of the replacement cost?
New clutch is 7500$ ish for the part, how much is the labour?)
