timing belt is 10 years/120K miles so if you are on the original timing belt, you need to swap out the belt, idler, tensioner. Reinstall includes dealing with the VVT gear(s) which adds another 30 min shop time. I'd budget $600-700 for the timing belt job. As to the clutch, my guess is $1000 parts plus $600-800 labor. Any symptoms as to why you need a new clutch at 78K miles? If there are any signs of oil leakage, this is a good time to do the cam seals/main seal with the timing belt and the rear main with the clutch. Also consider refreshing the oil separator/PCV plumbing if made accessible when the tranny is dropped...
