Clutch Question
I posted a while ago on how my VR4 seemed to be cutting out and stuff. I believe it's the clutch. Last night, it did it, and then shot up to 7k rpms without accelerating. It also makes a grinding/squeaking noise when driving that goes away when the clutch is depressed. So I am going to get it checked and will likely have to buy a new clutch. Here are my questions. I am wondering how much labor it should be to install a new clutch. Also, I think it would be a good time (to save costs later) to also install a lightened flywheel and a new 2nd gear synchronizer (which is gone). Let me know if these would be good ideas, because sooner or later, they will probably be done anyway. I know cars, just not how to do detailed stuff with them. Thanks in advance.

Re: Clutch Question
well, on labor, a shop will charge you as much as it costs to drop a transmission, cause thats basically all it takes to replace a clutch and flywheel, which will probably be around $400. Then as far as the 2nd gear synchro, i'm not sure on how much extra that would cost, but i would think about an additional $200 on top of that. And then add parts.

Re: Clutch Question
at dealership it cost 550 bucks for labor, mine cost me only $250 because i know this good shop and they did it for me. Just remeber who ever dose it make sure to tell them to chech the following: clutch lines, slave sylinder, and your bushing. You real need to stop driving the car. Or you will damage something. my car did that couple of times and i just dident drive it till i changed my clutch. I thought about changing my flywheel but i came to the conclusion that i dont real need one and it cost you about $500 and your stock flywheel dose not need to get changed like a clutch all they had to do is resurface you flywheel. I bought the ACT HEAVY DUTY STREET CLUTCH.
Good Luck with everything. |

Re: Clutch Question
young said he got his 2nd gear synchro redone for $600. But maybe that was parts and labor....

My car was up at a Nissan dealership yesterday, and I looked underneath. The driveshaft is totally loose with a couple of clamps needing replaced. The car vibrates terribly when accelerating, and makes a metal on metal noise. They think this is the problem; not the clutch. I tend to agree. You?
