02 cavalier
My friend asked me to do a clutch on a 2002 cavalier. Weridly the clutch is 300$ from my cheapest supplier. Does that sound werid to you? And a shop quoted her 1800$ for the job... is there something im missingabout dropping the tranny our the side of the car and putting in a new clutch?

Re: 02 cavalier
Mmmm very weird. When I asked my mechanic to install my clutch on my FC, he only quoted me $350... but then I just said I'll keep my money and do it myself
 $1800 is a lot of money, it could get you an assload of ass.

Re: 02 cavalier
Yeah dude, I would get a second opinion. I dont think clutch jobs are any bigger of a job on a cavy than anything else. Man Cavaliers are gay. They are good cars, but so under engineered its annoying. Brakes typically go 20-25k miles, the suspension is horrible, and those clutches dont hold for shit. I bought mine with like 14k miles and its brakes were already on the way out as was the clutch. It still slips a bit and I wont change it until I have to, but damn its annoying.

 You sure that quote was for just clutch, or an engine plus tranny?  If its the former, the HOLY SHIZNIT. Maybe this cavvy thinks its a Benz. I just got a new clutch and new fly for my 3KGT, $450 out the door, parts, tax everything.

Re: 02 cavalier
The cheapest clutch for my car that I've seen is close to $500. For a clutch that will hold some power your looking to spend $700+ just for the clutch. Flat rate says 6.2 hours and I dont know what they are charging there but the average is $95.00 an hour so thats $589 for labor plus $300 for a clutch. Maybe its double price day?
