im looking to see what u guys paided to get your clutch installed so i can see what im looking at to get mine in......and to see if there trying to get more money out of me than they should.

i paid $250 for mine......

where did u go? i went to a vw performance shop near by, there very good, and they said it would be at least a 6 hour job, and there rate is $60 an hour.

Six hours!!!! Daaaaaayum. Who's working on it, Charlie Brown? A friend & I did it in 90-95 minutes on my 95 SE-R.

thanks se-riusb14, i thought these guys were trying to rip me off. anyone else?

It shouldnt be any more then a 4 hour job at a shop. Last year, when my boy chris (nismoser) first got his car, it needed a new clutch. So he took it to goodyear and with parts and labor and after all was said and done, it cost him about 700 dollars for everything. It was horrible. Now, we do our own clutches since we have gained knowledge in the ways of the sr20. :)

i already have the clutch, i just need the install done. so u guys think it should definitly be less than $300 right?

Yup! I took mine to a mustang performance shop :o

They were way call and loved my car. finding a mechanic (well, a good one) is not easy. i know some guys near me that can help me with a clutch install incase mine goes again.

good luck, and dont pay more than 250-300....

It is actually 6.1 hours according to the repair manual at mechanics shops. Plus the cost of machining the flywheel, oil, and the clutch itself.

Techinically its 6.1 hours but most good mechanics have been doing clutches for quite some time now and have a pattern down pat. The guy that did mine took 4 hours and charged me 400. Granted I didn't have anything he also was a friend of a guy that my dad new really well so he said sure and even installed a Stage 2 that his son was going to put in but we won't go into why his son didn't have it put it. If you have the clutch and all then 300 sounds quite expensive Hope this helps

I had a quote for putting one in the XE, and I think it was $400 at most for everything, parts included. I ended up doing it myself. So I'd think that since they're only providing labor and some tranny fluid, you shouldn't be more than $300 for labor.

It was 450 for labor on the clutch which i provided. They also charged 60 for the clutch cable that i neglected to buy, then they charged 70 to install the stupid thing. The rest was tax.

Where are you located? I'll put the damn thing in for $180 in an afternoon. I live in Maryland, BTW.

i got mine done for $100... my buddy got is FDrx7 done for $150 and my other buddy's integra GSR was also $150... these prices are in fresno, california at a shop called CONSTANT VELOCITY...

i live in nashua nh, just over the northern mass line, so probly not. but thanks for the offer.

How about a clutch and a flywheel?

A normal shop would charge about 300 for labor, and then whatever you pay for the clutch.

As far as a flywheel goes, resurfacing the OEM costs around 10-15 bucks. Buying a performance one is around 300 isn't it?

what does a resurfacing do for it? If I want to still have a daily driver how light should I go on the flywheel?

At my shop, I usually charge $250 for a complete clutch install. This includes the labor to change the rear main seal, axle seals, clutch cable, and T/O bearing.

My machine shop charges an additional $18 plus tax to resurface the flywheel. As for gear oil, I either re-use what was in there or advise the customer to get 4 qts. of Redline MT90.

Or course, the cost for the cable, seals, oil, and resurfacing are in addition to my $250 labor.

By the way, how does one do a *complete* clutch job is 90 mins? It takes me 1:45 just to drop the tranny with hand tools and no lift.

I hope this helps,

Wow, if I could find someone to do that up here I wouldn't even bother getting my hands dirty. That's definitely worth my time! Alas, labor is scarce at that price here in Jersey.

I guess I'll keep the Gojo handy :D
