    Lightbulb After A Good Reliable Clutch Installer Decently Priced, Who Do YOU Recommend?

    Hey guys.
    The 101 is my pressure plate is a goner. Now ive had a look into replacing it and have a few options.

    1) I can go to i think its, MoPower? And get a EXTREME H / D Clutch Kit installed + spigot replaced + gearbox oil drained and replaced for $700 flat.

    or

    2) I can get my hands on the EXTREME H / D Clutch Kit for $275 + Find an experienced person to install it. Now my mechanic wants to charge me $260 for the labour if i supply the clutch totalling $545 all up.

    Can anyone recommend a good palce to go to for installation cheaper than $260? Possible after a gearbox oil drainage included.

    Cheers guys

    $260? That's less than 4hrs labour he's charging you. That's CHEAP for a clutch change. Do it there.

    Yeah, but that's a pain in the arse And then, if you havn't done it before, you usually end up doing something silly and ruining an input shaft bearing or something similar.

    yeah that sounds pretty fair mate. a bit of work involved.


    also you can easily drain the oil yourself. and re fill it.
