Luckily for me, my clutch went out this weekend. A good thing to happen seeing as I'm selling the car. I have ordered a new cluch kit for $150 and need to find a cheap place to get it overhauled tomorrow. What can I expect to pay in labor for this job? Going to a stealership is NOT an option for me. What do you imagine most independent mechanics would charge in labor for the task?

BTW car is still for sale....in excellent shape and will sell with brand new clutch for $7995....see ad in the classified forum.

 

Depending on the shop, its reputation, quality of work, and demand... I'd expect around $150 - $500 for the labor.

 

about how many hours of labor does this job entail??

 

4-6 hours, if they work on it right away i'd expect to pay 400 at the minimum

 

do it yourself man its not too bad. or drive to cape cod and ill do it for you $$$

 

I don't have a ton of tools and i've never really done anything much tougher than tune up type stuff....does anyone have instructions for doing the whole overhaul? I'd like to see the whole process.

 

It's a fairly involved process. There's a halfway decent writeup on www.motorvate.ca, but it leaves much to be desired.

You should be able to get a garage to do it for ~$300...if you provide the parts.
