The tranny work you can get done here, NOBODY will warranty the clutch itself. either tell the dealer to give you an OEM one, or pay for an aftermarket one.

 

how much should the OEM one cost me?

 

Get an ACT HDSS, since the cost will be about the same. Have them install it for free (or only 1-2hrs of labor) when doing the synchro replacements.

 

Tell your Dealer about what Warrtalon said. IF they are going to replace it, and they should, tell them you want the ACT HDSS.

 

im fairly certain, if i get any kind of aftermarket clutch they are going to throw my drivetrain warranty out the window (although alot of good its done me).

But im going into mitsu today to raise some hell and see if i cant get my syncros under warranty and then discuss the clutch situation.

Ultimately i beleave they should replace the syncros under warranty and the clutch under good will.

After all, a clutch is a wareable item like brakes, but who sells a car for 24k with bad brakes?

 

little update, car is in the service department being "checked out" and im driving a buick lacross for today (grandpa car!)

so for anyone following along Ill keep updating this thread.....


by the way this dealer is Sendell Motors in greensburg

 

Keep us posted, it looks like they will HOOK you UP!

 

yeah, if they fix the tranny grinds and clutch without money from my pocket i will be singing from the roof tops how great a dealership they are.

If they dont, ill make sure they are hanging from the bell tower.

 

I just hope they don't tell you your clutch is the cause of the grinding. There have been several threads on here where people had grinding during shifts and after a clutch install the grinding was gone.....meaning the sychros aren't bad. It would be odd to have grinding in almost every gear.

FYI, I've never had luck with a hand pump. An air compressor works best. I usually build up about 60 psi in the tank, and then turn it off so that the garage is quiet. If you don't have a boost gauge to watch, you should probably regulate the pressure going out to roughly 25-30 psi to ensure you don't overpressurize the engine.

 

Well, they told me that nothing was covered.....a $1500 bill

THey wont install aftermarket parts period....

but after a bunch of *****ing they are paying half the bill $750 and a rent a car.....


so im still out $750 and have a stock clutch.....i dunno if im happy or not....

 

This is only in reference to the clutch, right? What about the synchro issue? $750 for a clutch job that includes a new clutch/flywheel is not bad at all, especially since it's being done at the dealership. I know you didn't expect to pay $750 this soon when you purchased the car, but the stock clutch is really not bad at all. It will last you a long time if you treat it right.
