Hey friends,
Seems after the massive epic skid I was doing in the maccas car park I blew my clutch. Just kidding, I was just setting off like a grandma while in traffic *sobs. From the metric ton of clutch threads I have read I am pretty certain its clutch related.
-Pedal is hard and springy.
-wont engage when car is running.
-Can force it into gear when stopped with engine off.
-Starting car in gear JUST gets it going, I was able to get it home with this method.
-When car is driving I cannot disengage the clutch.
Its a VY SS so LS1 etc, all that good stuff. The usual bolt on mods exhaust, OTR and tune. 240ish at the wheels from the dyno sheet I have. Its got 220k on the clock, so was not unexpected when the clutch went.
As i said I have done some reading. The general recommendations are.
- Textralia Z grip. Not sure how much these cost $1500ish?
- Textralia X grip. Same as Z grip I am assuming maybe a bit less right?
- Exedy HD. $850-1000 for kit.
- LS7 clutch $425 + $475 for LS7 fly wheel. $900 >> (New Genuine) VE HSV 427 LS7, CLUTCH & PRESSURE PLATE I have also read that an LS2 fly wheel with light machining is the cheaper option than the LS7 FW but better than a LS1 FW. Havent been able to find a decent price on a LS1 flywheel only.
Searches tell me the job is 3 - 5 hours of labor. So at $100 P/h looking at $300-500. Does that sound about right?
I should point out I probably wont go for the Textralia Z grip. Not afraid of the hard pedal, I have legs like Beyonce' so I can handle it. But if they are $1500 it doesnt seem worth it for a daily only on 240rwkw despite it being the most recommended clutch from my searches.
Anything I am missing? Just want to confirm I am in the ballpark because the majority of threads with good info are years old and prices change. I will start ringing shops for rough quotes and would like to know whos 'too good to be true' and whos 'going to bend me over' haha
Have a good one gals and dudes. Again sorry for another clutch thread, just want to confirm my research before jumping in. Ya'll know what I mean?
