Has anybody replaced their clutch recently?
 

Did you guys/gals do it yourself? What was the $$$ damage, parts and labor (if applicable)? Mine is a 94 DX and under WOT it's starting to slip a little bit, but it still can be driven. It has 130k miles on it. I tried to do a search but I got errors. Thanks.

I got mine done like 4 weeks ago. I was just driving down the interstate and it went out. It was 600 for everything at my mechanic's place. The clutch exploded, there was not much left of it. Mine had 125000 on it when it went. I'd get it done soon so you dont have to oay for a tow truck like I did.

I did mine last summer. i thought it was the clutch but just ended up being the seal on the tanny that was leaking oil on the clutch. i replaced it anyway. im thinking i paid like 60 for the clutch set.

i was able to use my friend's lift. the tranny is light just me and a couple for friends lowered it down and put it back in with out a jack. it wasnt only easy to do. but fun :D

thanks for the reply guys. If I can find somebody with a lift, I might give it a go and do it myself. Islandpro, did you use a manual or write-up as a guide for the removal/installation ?

I used my haynes manual mostly. oh yeah this is how i supported my engine. a friend of mine told me about it. works really well. and you can lower and raise the engine to get tranny in and out.

Good luck hope you find a lift. :)

I did mine about month ago with only the use of a floor jack and blocks lots of work but it was a must my cluch was blown to fiber and the cheapest shop I could find around here still wanted $900 in labor + parts F*%Kin over priced A$$MONKIES. so I did it my self not to hard just alot of time.

had my tranny guy do the clutch when i swapped the tranny

new tranny $250 ( with 130 k on it )
new clutch $200
labour $250

all in CDN dollars

:eek: $900 bucks?!?!? That's more than what I got my car for! LOL. For that price, I'd definitely do it myself and learn something while at it.

Yep 900 but please keep in mind that around here every thing is way over priced about cars..

i got mine replaced about 3 months ago, followed in rapid succesion by my tranny which exploded on us 1...it broke my wrist lol...i was downshifting with my gf in the car and it just went...the clutch was about 600 and the tranny ended up around 9 hundred bux...u know, street racing is expensive...they dont tell u that when ur doing it...but it catches up to u...anyways, good luck man, i hope u get something good

Got a clutch kit for about $150, the kid and I did it ourselves. It was easy.
