I took my car in to the dealership last monday about the clutch slipping and they checked it out and everything and they told me i'd have to buy a new pressure plate, flywheel, clutch etc. so I ordered an exedy hypersingle and it came in friday afternoon. They were closed during the weekend so I took the new clutch and everything up there Monday morning and called to check on it a little while ago and they told me that my car wouldn't be done until next week because the technician is in florida.

What should I do about this? My car is sitting up on a lift with everything (clutch, tranny, etc.) sitting on the floor with my new clutch and I can't get anyone at the dealership to work on it nor do I get a loaner car unless I pay for the rental.

 

i would say.....there isnt much you can do....wait until it gets done...just make sure theydont charge you for extra time because someone is on vacation.

 

you wait it out then give them poor ratings on the next survey you get.

 

I would be happy that they aren't letting just anyone finish it up. How much are they charging you to replace it?

 

mine sat on one for 2 weeks waiting for an oem clutch

 

they told me labor cost was going to be around $600

 

Sounds right. A local guy had his replaced with an aftermarket clutch at the dealer and it was something like 650-695 for labor.

 

sounds about right. i hate dealerships

 

i got my clutch done in about 3 days...

600 is the normal price anywhere for a clutch install...

rumor has it this car has a pain in the @$$ clutch to install

 

yeah, I thought the price was about right. I'm just pissed because i'm having to switch off a car with my mom everyday because mines been sitting that long and it will be until next week.

 

That my friend is unaceptable..

They should give you a loaner since the tech is "away"

Just my .02

 

He might be too young. How old are you? Some rental companies require you to be at least 22-23. And the dealerships insurance might not allow them to loan somebody a car younger then that.

It has been taking a while to get Evo parts unfortunately. But at this point you have little choice except having your car towed somewhere else.

 

I know clutches, flywheels, etc, are wear-and-tear items...are any of the replacement parts and labor covered under warranty?

 

I'm 18, hence the reason they wont give me a loaner, but even then they wont give my parents a loaner they told us we would have to pay for a rental car because the work on my car isn't being covered under warranty.

 

Hey you think u got it bad. At least my car didn't fall off the lift.
