New Clutch

UPDATE:New Clutch

Looks like I have to step up my timetable for repairs this summer - clutch is gone. Got an estimate from the local mechanic for $1350 (12 hrs. labor) - this sound right? I'm down in VA - might Triple AAA it over to Excessive Autosports (Only work on mustangs) if the estimate is off - if anyone can lemme know what it's costed you I could get a better idea of where to go from here. Thanks fellas.

Well, the clutch is in, and DAMN. What a difference - I really wasn't aware how bad my clutch was before, but now I can see how busted it was. On the downside, I don't have the $$$ to do exhaust so they threw on a few phalanges that had come loose and tightened everything up: conclusion: less raspy (cause the exhaust was loose and trashed it sounded actually not bad) and more sounding like a 4.6 - lets just say the borla, bassani, and manifolds will be on their way as soon as possible! Thanks for all the input - thankfully that is the last job my local mechanic is doing, it's straight to Excessive (mustangs only) for everything else now. Peace.

Clutch Repair

Dealership here in Charlotte area quoted me $850.00 and a local mechanic said he could do it for around $500.00. Have been milking the clutch on mine for the lasr six months either trying to save the money or get the guts to tackle it myself...... not a born mechanic if you know what I mean.

I have a couple of days to spend vacating somewhere. I will replace them each for $300.00 + round trip. I will need a place to sleep one of the nights. J/K. Those labor prices might be a touch on the high side. I had mine done, before I knew I could have and should have done it, for about $250 bucks. I should only take a mustang person about 4 hours from start to finish. I do wish I lived closer, I would probably do it for the beer.

call tony pasta at 301/595-5020. he's in beltsville, not far from the university of maryland. i bet his labor will be much more reasonable.

btw, i have a triple black 95 too

To me $1350 is a little expensive, I bought my own parts and had those f***ckers at Aamco install everything for around 400 before I learned to handle the task myself, what kinda of clutch are you going with?

Please a clutch change I have done mine in 3 hours in and out. I just did a MX-6 for a friend for 100 bux. If you do it yourself get the flywheel resufaced. I have done 7 clutch changes and I am only 18.

Talk about some fragments!

Anybody got a link to a good step-by-step guide? Preferrably with pics...

If you got some decent handtools, jack, stands, time and space, do it yourself. I understand the aforementioned is not always the case. Picked up a Haynes manual yet?..goes thru it step by step, really a piece of cake. 12 hours and 1350 is to much for an honest mechanic, or is that parts too? wish I got paid 112.50 an hour!!! Take a trip through Sears and price some of that stuff, probably cheaper than that. Tools are always good to have around especially if you have more in mind for your car. I'd do it for a quarter of that price and a case of beer, and teach you how to do it. Good Luck man
