Lost my Clutch

Just got a quote on rebuilding my trans.
Rebuild $3,000
Clutch $1,500
Labor $8-900

 

1000 to 1500 dollars all inclusive

 

$1500 seems a little high for a clutch (parts only). However, the place I was talking to might have been pulling numbers out of their nether regions.

 

All inclusive, parts550, labor might be as high as1000

 

Last clutch I bought was $440ish. Depending on what shop you use,ask if you can bring your own parts. It might save a little on mark up.

 

I might have misunderstood my mechanic as we were talking about multiple things, then again he likes the bling of the gold lined pressure plate and diamond encrusted throwout bearing! lol

 

I've seen clutch assemblies run anywhere from $800 to $1500 depending on location and brand. Not sure which model of truck you have but its typically a 6-10 hour job to just re and re clutch. Longer if you have PTO's. However I would strongly recommend getting the flywheel turned and the engine rear main seal changed since you're already right there. The shop'll need extra time if you need to have transmission input shaft changed or transmission input seal changed as well.

Also here's a tip to save some money down the road. Most clutch assemblies come with a one piece clutch brake. If it ever has to get changed, the shop will have to torch/cut it out and there's a risk they could fubar the input shaft doing it. Have your shop toss that 1 piece and put in a 2 piece.

 

Best advice I can give ya is to go back to the last place you used it and retrace your steps to where you are now....should be somewhere in between!

Aren't ya glad I was here to help?
