Who wants to change my clutch?!! :cheers: ?

Post by bass_twitch »

NSW
Sydney
Western Sydney

*insert movie intro thingy from a spy movie where it starts with a whole globe view then zooms in to the locale specified*

Ok, my clutch is gone.
Money is already preoccupied atm with other things, so it really couldn't have been worse timing. So I thought I would put it out there and see if anyone is interested in making a little cash/beer?

I'll probably end up at the mechanics in 2-3weeks to get it fixed unless someone can do it before then.
(prior experience with these a requirement ;) )

Car is borderline undriveable - I have maybe one drive left in it and was going to save that to get it to the mechs...

Have you got a new clutch ready to go in? And what are you going to do about machining the flywheel? I know some say it's not necessary, but it needs to be done if you want the warranty on the clutch.
I'll have an FTO one day... i swear!

until then:
1. 2001 Merc-Benz A160 (porta-loo on wheels)
2. 2007 Peugeot 307 TDi (more fun than you'd expect)
3. [url=ttp://ftoaustralia.com/v3/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=25373]2009 Mitsubishi Triton Di-D (a monster in its own right)[/url]
4. 1992 Nissan NX Coupe (club car and project car)
5. 1996 Holden SB Barina - "The Nugget"
6. 1996 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport - The Budget Build
7. 2010 Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series - V8 Goodness... - Build coming soon.
8. 1990 Audi 90 manual - The delightfully dignified daily driver

Not yet, but I'll be looking to get one next week.
Was thinking exedy HD? (Are there any other options other than that?)

re. machining flywheel - not sure. I could probably take it to a mechanic or penrith brake and clutch and they could machine it? (The car can be apart for more than a day, that's not an issue).
