Cost To Do Clutch

[pmacFTO]

Just wondered if anyone has a ballpark figure for replacing the clutch on a newage WRX. I have 290bhp so is OE clutch ok or am I better to uprate - I don't drive hard most of the time tbh. Just if someone had had theirs done at Hypertech or similar they may be able to give me a rough idea of price Ta!

I usually charge £100 + Gearbox Oil.

Cost of Clutch/Flywheel/Flywheel Spigot are all extra.

Standard will take that okay.

Standard wont take Crail launches + trackdays though as I found out. Even on standardish power

cheers for that guys

Aberdeen is a bit of a trek but thats a good price Wuz!

Have to wait till I get in some cash for a few websites and freelance graphic design jobs I did before the Xmas period It all just goes on the car! lol

A garage or just a m8? My only worry is what comeback I have - I don't doubt people can do it themselves but it's just if something goes wrong if you know what I mean? All options considered tho! Hypertech are off till 12th Jan or so

I have had an offer from craigmcd too which is promising

All items fitted by me have their relevent warranties honoured (if NEW and supplied by me - so I know its source) and all labour is covered by a 6 months warranty.......................... if people pay me to fit parts to their car, they have a FULL receipt that has 6 months cover from date of issue so they have some sort of comeback on the work done.

Aye Duncan said they are open but then he's off for 2 weeks - no time to do mine till he gets back But I am back at work on the 5th as is the wife (and she needs to do school/nursery runs thru the day) so I need mine sorted earlier.

Na proper garage mate so all the comeback you would get with any other garage.

When do you need it done by?

I also have another mate who worked at AWD for 3 years he has ramps at the farm

You would have less comeback with him although he is the expert to be honest.

Twin Plate is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OTT for 400bhp bob. Exedy Stage 1 Organic will cope with 400bhp (its not bhp that kills clutches, its TORQUE) and cost about £400 Including Lightened and Balanced Flywheel - Contact Alyn @ ASP or David @ API for more info.

Twin Plate (Exedy/Cusco/HKS/etc) will handle 550/550 easily but costs about £900

Fitting of either is £100 + extras.

I am not back from OZ until April, hopefully your not in a hurry you could always go to Grant and Andy @ AWD?

I think a clutch change and a MOT may be required in Paisley then

I just got quoted £300 from a local place, just for the time, no parts/fluids included! They reckon 7.5hrs.. Comes from a place that runs their own Impreza in the SRC..

Makes we wanna try change it myself afterall..

That is the official book time in the Autodata times manual.

[scouk]

D'oh! that more or less suggests they havent done one before..

I'll maybe have words in the new year when they open again and get something more realistic..

5 hours START to FINISH.
