tracedog67 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Fellers, Clutch is slipping on my OBW, 5 speed MT with 238k miles (not bad for original clutch). How much should I expect to spend at the dealer to replace clutch? Is this a tuff job or could I trust another shop to do this? thanks Tdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 clutch is nothing spectacular, just a cumbersome job because either the trans or motor has to come out. i'd avoid the dealer like the plague personally...actually i avoid them all and do it myself. but i do know a very reputable transmission shop in town that has been around for 20 or 30 years so i would tell someone to take it to them. dude that's nuts - 238,000 on the original clutch?

tracedog67 Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 dude that's nuts - 238,000 on the original clutch? I bought the car at 181k miles, the first and original owner drove the car one way 70 miles to work on the highway so the clutch wear has been minimal. My mixed driving is probably what has wore it down. tdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spazz698 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I wouldnt take it to a dealership. Their shops will cost you more than others for sure. If you cant do it yourself (about 80% of the cost you're paying is labor btw) I'd take it to a tranny shop- their prices are probably up there as well but shouldnt be as much as the dealership.

hawksoob Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 FWIW, The Boys of Pep did mine a few years ago for about $600, including flywheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
