New Clutch???

[chillipepper]

My clutch has just started to slip when i put the hammer down in 5th gear, where is the best place to get one and roughly how much am i looking at having to spend???:hm::

 

[frankie2531]

hi mate i have just done my one and i had excedy 3 piece type and i paid £240 but be careful because some clutches are a mixed up type so dont go for a cheap type because they wont last, and for labour i did it my self and would say labour is around £250-£300.

 

[chillipepper]

Nice 1 frankie, how long do you ive got before it goes completely (if i drive it carefully?)

 

[frankie2531]

my one lasted a month and what you will find is that it will slip in forth and so on and so but when you do have it replace i would have the flywheel skimmed to mate> Do you know any mechanics and si there any near you ???

 

[chillipepper]

i would probably go to thye only one i really trust which is Adam at Pro Performance International, why would the flywheel need skimming??

 

[frankie2531]

just because they tend to get hot spots where the clutch start to slip and general wear mate also how many miles has the car done ??

 

[chillipepper]

its done just under 150,000km

 

[frankie2531]

so thats about 100,00 miles then and i take it thats not the first one its had? but when you get it done i would be not surprice if they tell you that mate hope that helps and if you get stuck pm me mate

 

[chillipepper]

Cheers for your help bud

nice 1

If you want buddy, I would suggest that you give Jamie@evotune a shout, he has a special offer on genuine Exedy Organic clutches that are at right nice prices.

Do not go for any on egay, as Frankie has stated already, they are mix and match kits that are a real rip off and then some

I think that £300 on the labour might be pressing it a bit though:whistling:

Give your man a shout and see what he quotes you on labour and then get back to me.

Don't be shy Frankie, you're a MOT man so tell us what you think is a fair price for changing a clutch, or rather, what they charge at your place buddy :whistling: :whistling: :whistling:
