    Angry When is my pain going to end? NOW HAVE DEAD CLUTCH

    Repairs so far $3780....Gggrrrrrrrrrrrrr... And now......Clutch gone.

    Anyone know how much to repair clutch? V8 93 VP wagon. Also while the gearbox is out can I replace anything in there to help it?

    All suspension needed replacing, new 245's on front and 255's on back, new Ignitian module,new brakes, new disc rotors, new water pump, new rocket cover gaskets, sludge removal 3 times (3 oil filters and oil etc) The sump gasket had to be replaced (ouch that hurt). Radiator repaired. Coil, Plugs, Front bushes and arms. Plus a few more things.......I must have bought a lemon, but I am going to persist, I love the car....Oh yeah the valves probably will need doing in about 1 year.....noisy, and number 7 compression not as good as others...In one of the pictures I am being towed by a ford......

    The rockets are underneath the car with the aviation fuel tank. When you press a button on the console wings came out of side of the car.

    look on ebay. there way a v8 clutch kit on there. i think it was a button clutch. but it was sprung. so it wouldn't be too bad. it was 390 plus postage.
