Its not cheap to take a transmission out of a car and than reinstall it. 300 doesnt seem bad for a FWD car.

 

450 for the complete thing isnt bad at all. You should just get a bentley and try to attack your self. But i would just pay the 450.

 

actually they wanted almost 700 dollars for an OEM clutch and install through them. they said the clutch was 250 or somethin. I called the one in downtown clearwater. I can get an Saches OEM for 130...so i mean thats not a problem. Im just gonna do that and take the liability of the clutch, no warrenty on the clutch if i have a shop do it and i provide my own parts.

and yea i'd try it myself...but i dont have a garage...and i have just enough tools to do minor little things in the parking lot of my apartment complex...so doing it myself is a no go...

 

it should be cheap its only like 4 bolts on the engine and then taking off the drive shaft shit ive taking mine out atleast 6 times in the past month

 

Anyone had good exp with a particular aftermarket clutch? My stock clutch doesn't seem strong enough.

 

so just how good are you at replacing clutches??? and any chance i could throw a few $$ ur way and give you some help one day...not sure if you are interested at all....also not sure if you've got the stuff to do it...i can get the clutch no problem....and to save from flywheel machining ill just get a kit with a new flywheel (could be part of my prob anyway?)

 

well idk im only sixteen and the only reason why ive taking out my that much is because ive had to replace the trans and drop the engine a few times for some work but if you want to i can take a look at it

 

oh...ok np...all good...actually i must have gotten water or something in there somehow (maybe when i cleaned the engine all up) because the slip has been slowly going away.....so i think im gonna wait on the clutch for a bit anyway....thanks for all the info tho!

 

i second that, not to take over the thread but i was also wondering if anyone had a personal experience that they have absolutely love a clutch, and the $300 dollar install to me seems real good cuz i went to some place by maderia beach and they quoted me $1000, i had a 95 jetta 2.0

 

ive had the spec stage 1 in my car for a while... apparently the stage 1 is rated to handle right at about 300 ft pounts of torque and im over that amount and it still holds strong.... ill run it till it starts slipping then ill go to a stronger clutch.....


i also have the spec aluminum flywheel and the pair seem to work together quite well...
