is it my clutch?

[adzski]

went for a drive before and just as i was about 10 minutes from home, i noticed when i put my foot down abit there were high rpms but not really that much power.
do you reckon i have worn my clutch? i popped the hood and there was a bit of a burning smell.
i think one of my radiator hoses is leaking when i popped the hood theres was green fluid on the gear box, though i thought that might explain the smell.
or would it be a fuel filter?

[adzski]

its the clutch! anyone no a good place in melbourne to get it replaced and how much labour is?

[spetz]

I cannot tell you a place in Melbourne, but I can highly recommend the Exedy clutches (specifically the HD)

[Daniel2019]

Green fluid on the gearbox would be coolant I'd say mate. The hoses sit right above your gearbox. Check for leaks/burst pipes etc.

[adzski]

where the clamp goes on the hose is torn. so ill fix that up but im thinking of the HD exedy clutch and got quotes $240-300 for labour

[payaya]

You can come to my workshop! I can get a quote for you first!

[adzski]

sorry buddy, its already been lined to up to be fixed. but do you do engine tunes? and other similar stuff i need a good mechanic for that?

[payaya]

What do you mean by a tune? I've had an FTO for 10 years now and I am very familiar with them.

300 to do a clutch? Who is your mechanic? Most of them will hit you for 700+...

[adzski]

umm its my dads old friend, been going to him for years! but i have to supply the clutch so will be about $700 all up

[Sahin]

It's usually about $700 just for the labour

[adzski]

Doesn't take 7 hours to do a clutch on a FWD. I never recall ever taking more than half a day to do a clutch.

I often wonder how you get through the day... must be a pain to take a dump... how long does that take? About 2 weeks? Keep putting it off because 'cbf?'

Me and matt did it with only 2 jacks and a lot of elbow grease.
total cost of changing clutch with a custom NPC hybrid organic HD clutch? $300

Got access to a workshop so there is no need for me to strain!!

[silverGPX]

The total cost was more than that, more like 550 with flywheel machined.
