Clutch

Post by Wardy43 » Tue Oct 20, 2020 7:39 pm

Has anyone had a clutch done recently? Looking to see what the cost of a standard clutch fitting is nowadays I’m thinking there won’t be much change from grand?

I was quoted 10 hours labour plus parts.
Ended up doing it all myself, DMF, clutch, slave, uprated pipe, engine mounts & fluid change.
Amazing difference on a 13 year old car

I just did a gearbox rebuild, clutch and flywheel. May as well do the fly if doing the clutch. I’ll dig out the costs but for the lot it’s was £2,900ish. £1,500 was the gearbox rebuild.

I supplied the flywheel. No difference in labour costs to do the fly at the same time.

Well the new clutch lasted all of 3k miles.... wonderful. So that’ll be about £5k in maintenance this year.

Was hoping it was a master cylinder, nope clutch failure.

I may be falling out of love.....

Surely there's some sort of warranty? My only clutch replacement was after 80k or so.

clutch 3k-never
take it back to them
unless its the flywheel and they offered you the choice...?
if they dont play ball get onto trading standards and your bank if paid by card

one thing i would check is the bellhousing bolts,if these have come stack it will feel like clutch failure -happened to me before on a capri 2,8i,clutch wouldnt disengage properly
strangely enough that was after a gearbox rebuild with new clutch too
