my clutch went out yesterday..hopefully its the clutch and not the tranny. i got some expert advice and they said it was the clutch. was wondering if anyone knew a place where they will replace it for cheap???dont really have that much money.

Cheap clutch - about $60 + $10 for a release bearing. The labour is about 8-9 hours for a pro. You can do it yourself over one weekend, but it doesn't sound like you are too confident about doing it yourself. So, find a place with the lowest hourly charge to do it. I don't know any shops personally.

Most clutches in the TO area can be replaced (labor wise) for $250-$350 depending on what shop. Most days shops just charge a flat re&re for this job now.

which, for someone who knows what they're doing, shouldn't take any more than an hour and a half minus doing the flywheel..

If my clutch does go... and I'm going to have it replaced, what other stuff is good to replace while the tranny is out?

Contact KSR and ask about how much it would cost and what is suggested to change.

clutch/pressure plate, release bearing, shave the flywheel, pilot bushing, check for wear on fork and pivot, get the rear main checked out, have a look at the frost plugs....

little metal plugs that go into the block..
if yer coolant freezes up these pop, so you don't crack the block (water expands when it freezes..if it has no form of release it's enuf to break steel..aluminum is candy to ice..)

you made your point the first time...this is getting to the point of being spam... time to use the ignore feature...

if altech can do it in 3 hours thats great

fat_buddha

is he an affiliate? can we trust him?
what do we know about this ksr guy?

wait a sec? isn;t this spam?
i didn't think you could post the names of shops in a desperate attempt to get some free advertising on this site with out concent from mgmt

imported_gatherer

generally your correct KSR is not an affiliate, and advertising other shops is considered spam... however the guy did ask for shops that did this and KSR does this type of work ... the second post by AzimuthX was spam... I dunno why he gets away with it but ohh well.

I hope you also changed the pilot bearing, mine went on my car and it ended up costing me a new complete clutch and tranny!!

It took me a weekend in the driveway to do a clutch back in the day when I was 15-16. I haven't done one in a while...

Man, I had a kickin Crown Vic a few years back, but I sold it since the tranny started slipping. I was worried about pulling it and rebuilding it, since I was used to manual cars. :cry: I miss that boat
