Scumbags galore.
Scumbags galore.
Driving down the highway one day my clutch pedal just drops to the floor. Hmmm.. fluids low? roll into Wendys with a VIP parts store behind it. "Nice spot for car to break" I think to myself. Check the hydraulic fluid. Its fine. Call 24 hour mitsu roadside and have my car towed free of charge to the dealership. "Nice, free towing" I think to myself. Have Mitsu check it the next day. They tell me my master clutch cylinder went and they'll replace it under warranty. "sweet." I go back to work. Later that day......
Phone rings. "This is Mitsubishi, we replaced your cylinder but it seems that all of the fingers on your clutch broke off so we'll replace your clutch for 1400 dollars." Here we go just what I was waiting for.... "I have a clutch already" (my exedy twin disk) "you do?" says the scumbag. "Yes I do. How much to put the clutch in?"
They want 900 dollars to put it in. I tell them to eat my leather cheerio the tow trucks on the way to get it. Next weekend I figure I'll do the clutch. I look it over. Try the pedal. Still dead. WTF?? Why would the pedal be dead if I just need a clutch. I'll bleed the lines. *pump* *pump* *pump*. Check it out. Hmmmm hydraulic oil on my battery tray. Take off fitting. slide back fitting. Cracked line. Dumbasses. Put in new line. *pump* *pump* *pump*. Cars good as new.
Stupid ignorant pieces of poo. Pardon my potty mouth. Change my master cylinder and try to charge me 1400 dollars for a 3 dollar part. Gotta love the dealerships. Diamond star service........

yah, when i took my car in to get my wing replaced (due to it whiting in the carbon) they said they'd rotate the tires for free. i was thinking to myself if they could possibly screw me over with that and mess something up...that just shows how much trust i have in those guys
That's brutal charges they were throwing at you. I did just assist a buddy (well he did 98% of the work, I watched alot 
) put in a new clutch. That is one heck of a job to do -- took about 7 hours...so at the basic rate here of 72/hr...they are still waaaaaaay high.
I'm glad you could figure this out
I just replaced my clutch line the other day and I know what you just went through...
