Replacing a Clutch Cost - Buyer Experiences and Price Information

Clutch Doctors on Broadway

message from service department "Good morning. I just left you a voicemail, the car needs a new clutch. The one in the car is burnt and needs to be replaced. The clutch will cost $2505.37 which would bring the grand total to $5269.11 (includes all the other work we did, the clutch and tax). Let me know because I do not have the clutch in stock and if you get back to me soon I can order it for tomorrow" ... ouch!!! feel like just getting another car from just the regular maintenance

Seemed a little steep. The shop told me that they used a single flywheel instead of a double flywheel and it saved $800. This shop bills off of a standard charge sheet. (manual trans 2003 1.8t jetta 64k miles)

I was expecting closer to $800 based on the research I have been doing. The have had my car for 2 full days and it won;t be released until halfway through the third.

Started shoping labor costs they started at $350 and went as high as $675. Auto Zone had the cheapest price on the clutch. PEP Boys was $70 higher on a $159 part. WOW

I just order a stage 2 clutch and put it on my self. Repair sop wanted 1400 plus parts did'it my self I spend 200dls

Getting it done tomorrow. Upgrading to single mass lightened flywheel and a vr clutch

when you notice the issue get it fixed right away i waited and finally was forced to fix it when getting on the highway my car wouldn't go over 25 mph.

I thought it was expensive. Took into account work was being done at Dealership. Was leary of dealer quoting $2100 and local shop quoting $700. Wanted it done right the 1st time with the right parts.

Nice people at the shop although I am not sure how much this usually runs, but I felt that the cost for this repair was very expensive.

got ripped off asked for my parts back and shop refused.. car still does not run correctly clutch pedal has play and still goes to the floor.
Parts were way excessive i.e. parts cost about $50 each and was charged $240.00 for master cylinder and $110.00 for slave cylinder. then refused to return old parts. Went back twice to complain got ripped off. Was referred to shop by Goodyear Tires.

It's hard work, due that manufacturers design newer vehicles hard to see and reach bolts that connects all assembly but with patience and investigating manuals or other experiences, you can do your own labor and save a lot of money. Also if you are creative and find ways to reach these parts by doing some cutting in the panels you save also a lot of work. I replaced the slave cylinder, clutch, pressure plate, throught bearing, and brass bushing in the crank, also two quarts of oil. Victor

Blew my third slave cylinder at 99,500 miles (M5OD's horrible design, and cheap parts from before)

Takes a good 4-5 hours to pull and swap everything, had a friend resurface the flywheel while I was at it.

Purchased the clutch myself on reputable store on ebay for the cheapest price I was able to find anywhere. Labor is where the kicker is at.

Labor.complete clutch assembly kit remove and replace 6.8hrs $578.00,Labor for clutch slave cylinder 1.0hrs $85.00,Part for clutch disc assembly 1.hr $100.63,Part for clutch slave cylinder 1hr $72.75,Labor for clutch master cylinder 1.5hr $127.50,part for clutch master cylinder $119.82,,resurface flywheel $59.50.....not really sure if i got a good deal!!...Total for parts $344.45...Total labor $947.19

I made a mistake and bought parts on line got a clutch kit with pressure plate with bearing and slave for 135$. I found a place to do the install but they told me if I bring my own parts no warranty. I spent 250 on the clutch install with slave, the fly wheel needed to be turned and that was 75$ extra, they noticed the master was bad as well so that was 250 with labor and parts. However during the test drive the slave blew a line. They told me they sell me a slave at cost however they need to drop whole clutch and charge for labor another 200! However they will now cover the whole job under warranty since its their master and slave. I got hosed by eaton clutch supply, and I just had a similar one installed in my wifes ford focus which was 125$ for the kit and about 500 in labor for slave and entire kit. So now I am freaked out hers will fail!

purchased an EXTENDED warranty October 2006 when I bought my 2007 HHR Chevy. Was assured it would extend the warranty past the car loan which is five years. I have three years to go and part of the installment (in total $600 @ $10 per month on a five year loan). So what was I told? The "extended" warranty is only good for 40,000 miles. Who only drives 8,000 miles per year?

Clutch - $450 (stage 3 racing clutch)
Labor - $475. would do it myself IF i had the time, i know its not hard and 475 seems steep for 6 hours of work. but it seems to be the going price.

I recently had my transmission repaired in my 2003 focus 2.3 duratec w/5 speed including kevlar clutch pad, duel mass flywheel, pressure plate,and slave cylinder. Whatever you do order your own clutch kit and save big $$$ they tell you they cant warrenty your parts thats fine because the parts will only fail if improperly installed so your covered.I also gor a better clutch for less money than the $499.00 kit offered plus I replaced my duel mass flywheel all for what they wanted for the clutch kit itself.

The work was done they even replaced the right axle that connects to the transmission for a couple of bucks more awesome people car was done with in a day.

clutch kit- $130
flywheel machined- $25
spigot bearing- $thrown in
transaxle oil- $30
