Yip, Craig will sort you out

Have done and sorted thanks

Craig is a good shout (only heard good things about him ) but Steve Whitson did mine as Craig's schedule did not fit when I needed mine done. Steve is up near Hillend which may be nearer for you too?

Does any one have contact details for Steve Whitson?

I'm in need of a price for a new clutch.

Thanks, Mark

I just fitted a new clutch yesterday.

Clutch was about 200

Crank oil seal 15

Labour 50

Thanks god for a mate who used to work at AWD

I assisted although he did most of it.

In total it took about 3 hours including drinking 15 beers (no i didn't drive home)

Only problem we found was the bits of swarf stuck to my magnetic gearbox drain plug

Man they are not fun to change. Mine took all day on the ramp, mainly because we could not get the feckin thing to line back up with the gearbox.

After much swearing and nearly coming to blows with my cousin "who is the mechanic" we got the thing in.

Most annoying thing was I done it cos it slipped bad once when i tried to pull away on high revs on a hill, then it slipped all the way home. Seemed ok the next day, but i thought best do it while i had the cash. When we took the old one out it still had loads of life in it. Chance you take I guess.

U changed it after it slipped once? I made 100% sure it was knackered before i did it. It is alot of money

to spend to find out the old one was ok?

Hindsight is a great thing - worst thing was I wrote it off 3 weeks later! Cheez!

Yeah, its a little system that the powers at be put into place to prevent the forum from being overrun with "Y-H-P-M" alerts. No need for them now as a pop-up box alerts users as soon as they access the site and have PM.

Ah! righty thought i was going mad lol
