So let us do a little math.

Let us say for arguements sake that the labor rate is $90 hr. Before you start complaining everyone, $90 is not out of line for the NE.

Round off hours to 10. $90 x 10 hrs. is $900 plus fluids and tax-- round it to $1000.

Ugh NO!!!!!!!

Funny post.

 

I am also in chicago and I have not found a good deal anywhere. Everyplace is asking over 600 since I am gonna bring the clutch in. Does anyone know any good place around here that will do a good job for a fair price?

 

Exedy twin disc labor by Upstate NY Mitsu dealer in May - $600
ACT labor by Turbo Trix in December - $600
Having to pay for 2 clutch installs in 7 months - almost Wifeless!

 

When my clutch does go I will be doing it myself but I hear you need some special tool to bleed the acd. How much would it be for the dealer to do and would I be able to drive it there if I took it easy?

 

LOL!

Altered Atmosphere tranny-damaging idiot install of Exedy Twin - $$$too embarrassed to say

Andrew Yates clutch re-install and tranny rebuild - $$$Roundtrip airfare to Vegas, first-class, with a solid gambling budget at the Bellagio

Having to drop a huge amount of cash because DC is full of robber mechanics - Fiancee almost made me buy an Accord

:-)

 

free did myself 2 times had no problems with throw out bearing 10 seconds to get it free off the pressure plate 8 hours cause of problems getting the transfer case off i did get a quote for $400 at local garage

 

cost me nothing
but it cost me a **** load of pain lol

 

My wife STILL brings up my old Accord as the "better car". (I traded it in on the Evo
)

 

I did mine with some of my friends from my club. It was our first awd clutch change. All the shops around me gave me a quote of about 900 the lowest i got was 450 but I didn't feel he was sure about the job. So we did it following evo moto's play by play and it ended up costing me an engine hoyst, since we werent corridnated enough to do it with the two jacks. lol

 

slapped a used one in myself...however it's starting to slip ...so it's time to do it again...i am gonna let a local shop do it this time...and it's gonna be a brand new clutch

 

$30 dollars at Mitsu Dealer.

 

i can't choose......700 for clutch/flywheel w/ all fluids at a shop thats done it before....or like 400 at a shop of my dad's friends who have never done awd clutch but say that all cars are the same....what should i do??? btw should i get steel clutch line now, after install, or dont even consider it?

 

I'd go with the experienced installer. I chose the cheaper, inexperienced installer, and 6 months later I was doing it all over again, but with the experienced one.

Not sure about the ss clutch lines - I've never heard good or bad about them.
