Clutch question in MI

[twilson777]

Dying clutch @ 36K. Need to replace.I would like to get it replaced and of course cheap and fast. Since I had to take our other car-the VAN- for work, I need to get this car fixed for the wife to drive. GM dealer told me $1100 and I am looking for other places to get it fixed. From what I have seen the clutch is ~$350 for the RPS sport series clutch. Are there other parts I would need-bolts etc.? What direction should I look for a mechanic? Toyota dealer, local, or trans shop.All help with this would be appreciated.Thanks

Welcome to the forums. I would recommend the ACT clutches, and a shop that I would recommend is a little far from you, but they do great work. The name of the shop is Shamrock Automotive. Number is 313-434-1989. I get all of my car parts installed there. I just got my cams installed there. Not a easy task for $300.Inder

To replace the clutch you have to remove the tanny. I can tell you that this is not a fun task. Next time I will pay someone to do it. I found a shop that would do the labor for about $400, I was too cheap before. If there is a next time, I will pay that gladly I got a base clutch kit for about $200. The dealer's $1100 quote seems a lot higher than you should pay. Check around for a local shop that does tranny work.Do you have a GT or base? What are your clutch symptoms? welcome to genvibe

Welcome! I would just get it done @ a dealership. They'll probably have the part in stock and install asap.

Cottmans Transmission on Grand River in East Lansing. Had a clutch and tranny done there for 300 in labor plus parts. This was a few years ago and on an older honda...but they stand behind their work.
