Clutch Replacement Cost (Labor)

Re: Re: Clutch Replacement Cost (Labor)

Isn't new slave Cylinder, pulse ring, crank sensor, all that a overkill? Do I get new clutch pedals too? IM trying to keep this affordable, I barely can afford the install. LOL

Nope. If you have over 10K miles on your car I'd replace the slave. I'm kicking myself for not changing mine. There have been several slave failures.

Personally if you take the whole trans out and DON'T replace the slave, I think you'll be kicking yourself later.

Dam, you guys love spending my money, I'm at 5,000 miles, Wouldn't the slave be covered by warranty?
Do you guys recommend this one?

Yeah that is the one I put in. Might as well get it and inspect the existing one when the trans comes out. You'll need it sooner or later

I think so. I didnt swap all that stuff when I did mine just the clutch kit. I do have a spare slave cylinder ready to go if mine takes a dump.

Don't forget the $225 stainless clutch fluid line too. Good thing we have the racecar with a license plate right?

Don't be so quick to judge...

The FRPP clutch line is significantly better in more ways than one..

We race, you win.

care to elaborate or are you just speculating?

I'm sure it's better but it won't enhance the functionality of the clutch. It's purpose is so you won't melt the stock line when running LT headers.

Well my Clutch will be here next week, I'm going to take the risky route, install clutch without a new flywheel or resurfacing, I'm taking a chance but at this point I don't have a choice, I barely have enough cash for clutch and the $450.00 install

 

[steveespo]

Also reduced chance of expansion when the fluid gets heated up. I still feel the separate clutch fluid reservoir would help with the throwout bearing performance and longevity. I just haven't gotten the gumption to mount the one I have and cap the the brake reservoir. Now that I think of it an automatic brake reservoir wouldn't have the clutch line nipple, have to check if it is the same capacity as a Brembo manual trans unit.

I like your idea of the auto reservoir. In theory the expansion of the stock line makes sense but I never had my clutch pedal stick to the floor until AFTER I installed the JHR SS clutch line. One thought is maybe the SS line doesn't dissipate heat as well as the stock one.

Hmmm I have one of those but haven't installed it, but was planning to.. now, I'm second guessing

I don't know if there's a correlation or not. What I'm certain of is it won't help with sticking pedals or shifting lockout.

I contacted them about this slave cylinder and they told me it wont work unless you have the exedy clutch. since they wouldnt give me the "it works with any clutch" i didnt buy it.

I only had around 7k miles on my car when I made the swap. 8k miles with the new clutch and its still working fine for me.

I have one on my car. I would install it since you already have it. It didnt get rid of my sticking pedal and at the same time didnt make it any worse.

I'm sure it's better but it won't enhance the functionality of the clutch. It's purpose is so you won't melt the stock line when running LT headers.

he was talking about their braided stainless steel version of the line. cant see it being any better then the JHR line. The way I routed mine its further away from the exhaust then the stock line was by a fair margin cant see it getting that hot
