Anyone want to help a brother install a clutch this summer? I've done one on my eclipse, but I had the motor out. I'm debating on building the evo motor myself this summer, or just doing the head and and clutch.

Let me know if anyone is game for a little help and even some expertise. I will supply endless beer during the operation...as long as we get it done right..lol

No sense in paying 5-600 for something that would take a day at most to do.

Screw doing it with out a life. It is not fun what so ever. I can do a dsm flat back in a few hours, but an evo flat back is a different story

 

you mean without a lift right?
What if I can get access to one? One of my customers has a shop out in podunk between sammamish and redmond, hwy 203.

 

at the current exchange rate im sure English will do it for 39 cases of Corona!

 

doing it is not bad... but if you can affort the 468 corona, I would just do that with English Racing... lift or no lift, its not the best thing to do yourself. I know, I did mine twice.

 

For 39 cases or on 39 cases I'm having english do mine

 

i just did mine on my lift at work last weekend...wasnt a fun job at all even on a lift lol...be sure to pry the throw out bearing in the right spot to release it or you are fuc**d lol

definatly beats paying the 10.1 hours in labor it would cost tho

 

who takes 10.1 hours to do a clutch?

 

It would take you longer if you have not done it before... after two clutch changes, it will still take me 10 hours, then again, I like to take my time and have everything clean.

 

Illtech was quoting me something insane for the install and the clutch. So I figure I was going to do it myself. I'm not really a tranger to things of this sort. Based on how much cash I have in a few months when I do it, I might end up pulling the motor and building it at the same time. Guess I will start searching piston/rod combos.

 

i though ill tech was doing like a 500 or 600 install special even with your own clutch. Still pricy but better than a stiff back haha. I will prob need one in the X eventually (not too soon i hope) but i heard an x is even harder to do yourself.

 

thats how much labor it costs to do a full clutch job on a 06 evo including flywheel replacement. At least thats what i looked up at the dealership i work at. They charge $115hr so i saved myself about $1100! lol dealers are so overpriced!

 

wow, flat rate on a clutch is crazy. Im sure the techs love to do evo clutches though

 

Damn.. the dealership I work for they charge $95hr and I though thats highest shop labor ever..

 

I hear that is a pain in the *** to replace the clutch on these cars, Remove the Tcase and tranny and then clutch, if that is true then its a whole day type pf process
